    abstract =     {As our economy and critical infrastructure
                  increasingly relies on the Internet, the insecurity
                  of the underlying border gateway routing protocol
                  (BGP) stands out as the Achilles heel. Recent
                  misconfigurations and attacks have demonstrated the
                  brittleness of BGP. Securing BGP has become a
                  priority. In this paper, we focus on a viable
                  deployment path to secure BGP. We analyze security
                  requirements, and consider tradeoffs of mechanisms
                  that achieve the requirements. In particular, we
                  study how to secure BGP update messages against
                  attacks. We design an efficient cryptographic
                  mechanism that relies only on symmetric
                  cryptographic primitives to guard an ASPATH from
                  alteration, and propose the Secure Path Vector (SPV)
                  protocol. In contrast to the previously proposed
                  S-BGP protocol, SPV is around 22 times faster. With
                  the current effort to secure BGP, we anticipate that
                  SPV will contribute several alternative mechanisms
                  to secure BGP, especially for the case of
                  incremental deployments.}
