Cloudflare’s RPKI Toolkit
Cloudflare has made significant strides in enhancing the security of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Internet routing through its involvement with Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). The company aims to make it easier for network operators to deploy RPKI, a framework that allows networks to use cryptography-validated information. Currently, around 70% of Cloudflare's network is filtering invalid routes using their custom software called GoRTR and the RTR protocol. They have also developed OctoRPKI, a Relying Party written in Go, which provides control over route validation. These tools are designed to help networks easily deploy RPKI and contribute to making the Internet more secure.
