A Novel Scheme on Building a Trusted IP Routing Infrastructure

Router in Internet can easily propagate spoofed, malicious routing messages that can disrupt the network service. This is more of a flaw in the trust model, and not in the protocol itself. This paper presents a novel dynamic distributed trusted model for routing infrastructure, which is applied to establish trusted routing path to safeguard routing information. The goal is to bring higher level of trust and assurance to IP routing operation. This approach can be regarded as a solid step towards securing IP network.
