In this episode of Networking Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) — the cryptographic framework that prevents BGP hijacks and route leaks. They explain how RPKI works with Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) to validate IP prefix ownership, using the 2024 and 2025 hijack statistics from MANRS to show why adoption matters. They also highlight real-world examples like the 2018 Amazon Route 53 hijack and the 2021 Facebook outage to illustrate the risks. The hosts discuss current adoption rates (about 40% of prefixes covered by ROAs by early 2026), the challenges of deployment for smaller networks, and how RPKI is evolving with ASPA (Autonomous System Provider Authorization) for path validation. Perfect for network engineers, IT pros, and anyone curious about how the internet stays secure from routing attacks.
