Stalloris - RPKI Downgrade Attack

Explore a critical security vulnerability in Internet routing through this Black Hat conference presentation on RPKI downgrade attacks. Delve into the aftermath of the Twitter prefix hijack by RTCOMM and understand how RPKI filtering limited its impact. Discover the first-ever downgrade attacks against RPKI, which enable remote adversaries to disable RPKI validation, leaving networks exposed to prefix hijacks. Learn how malicious RPKI publication points can stall relying party implementations, effectively disabling RPKI validation on affected networks. Gain insights from security experts Philipp Jeitner, Haya Shulman, Michael Waidner, Donika Mirdita, and Tomas Hlavecek as they present their findings in this 27-minute talk.
