RPKI Basics for Network Operators: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Use It
1:30-2:15 PM ET
Brad Gorman, ARIN Director of Customer Technical Services
Route leaks and hijacks continue to affect networks of all sizes, including regional ISPs, enterprises, research networks, and public-sector organizations. Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is one of the most practical tools available today for improving BGP routing security — but many operators still have questions about what it really does, how risky it is to deploy, and where to start.
This session provides a clear, high-level introduction to RPKI, with a focus on real-world operations rather than theory or standards language. We’ll cover what RPKI is, why does it matter to your network, and how RPKI works in practice. Attendees will leave with a realistic understanding of how to begin adopting RPKI in a cautious, operator-safe way.
