LISTEN AND WHISPER: SECURITY MECHANISMS FOR BGP
by Lakshminarayanan Subramanian, Volker Roth, Ion Stoica, Scott
Shenker, Randy H. Katz
In this paper the authors abandon the goal of "perfect security" and
instead seek "significantly improved security" through more easily
deployable mechanisms. To the end they propose two measures, Listen
and Whisper, that require neither a public key distribution nor a
trusted centralized database. They first describe the threat model
addressed and then summarize the extent to which these mechanisms can
defend against those threats.
