Enhance the Routing Integrity and Resilience of Your Network
Protect Your Network With RPKI
For network operators in the research and education community, adopting Resource Public Key Infrastructure – Route Origin Authorization (RPKI-ROA) is a critical cybersecurity measure. RPKI-ROA helps resolve routing issues and protects networks against misconfigurations, mistakes, and malicious attacks.
RPKI-ROA: The Easy Button for Routing Security
More than 800 U.S. R&E community organizations are currently eligible to create an RPKI-ROA to protect their networks by completing a simple web form. For many, creating an RPKI-ROA will take less than five minutes.
Is your organization RPKI-ready? View the list of RPKI-ready networks with no ROA in the U.S. R&E community.
Despite the simple process for creating an RPKI-ROA, U.S. R&E networks lag behind the global internet in RPKI adoption. Internet2 is collaborating with the R&E community to change that in 2024.
Our goal? Boost the community’s RPKI-ROA adoption from 16% to 45%, closing the gap with the global internet.
Why RPKI
RPKI-ROA allows the resource holders of network IP addresses to specify the valid networks, or origin ASNs, authorized to announce their routes. Network operators can use this information to identify invalid routes, whether the result of misconfiguration or route hijacking.
More widespread adoption of RPKI-ROA means a more trusted and collaborative R&E network ecosystem — and a safer global internet for all.
By adopting RPKI-ROA, network operators can:
- Do your part to create a more reliable and secure global internet.
- Safeguard against malicious route hijacking attempts before they take down your network.
- Prepare your network for the future, anticipating that today’s routing security best practices will become tomorrow’s standards.
