Verification of Routes Using Region Authorization

BGP routing security is becoming a major issue that affects the normal running of Internet services. Currently, there are many solutions, including ROA authentication and ASPA authentication, to prevent route source hijacking, path hijacking, and route leaking. However, on an actual network, large ISPs with multiple ASes can use carefully constructed routes to bypass ROA and ASPA authentication to attack the target network. This document defines an region-based authentication method for large ISPs with many ASes to prevent traffic hijacking within ISPs.
