RPKI Coverage Reaches 70% of Internet Routes, Up From 54% a Year Earlier

The share of internet routes protected by Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) has risen to roughly 70%, according to an IPinfo blog post. That is up from about 54% a year before. RPKI is a cryptographic system that helps networks verify that routing announcements come from the legitimate holder of an IP address block. Greater adoption makes it harder for attackers or misconfigurations to hijack traffic by falsely advertising routes.
