I don't understand how BGPSEC is going to prevent anyone stealing passwords. To me, all this talk of BGP validation preventing hacks is a load of fantasy. The only utility I can see is in protecting reachability. The only problem I can imagine with installing an unsigned route is that the destination becomes unreachable. If it was unreachable to begin with, no harm is done. -- Jakob Heitz. x25475. 510-566-2901 _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
