"BGP Security Requirements", Blaine Christian, Tony Tauber, 19-Nov-07. ( bytes)

The security of BGP, the Border Gateway Protocol, is critical to the proper operation of large-scale internetworks, both public and private. While securing the information transmitted between two BGP speakers is a relatively easy technical matter, securing BGP, as a routing system, is more complex. This document describes a set of requirements for securing BGP, including communications between BGP speakers, and the routing information carried within BGP.

"BGP Session Security Requirements", Michael Behringer, 12-Dec-07. ( bytes)

The document "BGP security requirements" (draft-ietf-rpsec-bgpsecrec) specifies general security requirements for BGP. However, specific security requirements for single BGP sessions, i.e., the connection between two BGP peers, are only touched on briefly in the section "transport layer protection". This document expands on this particular aspect of BGP security, defining the security requirements between two BGP peers.
