RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) is critical infrastructure that cryptographically secures BGP routing to prevent prefix hijacking attacks, yet a significant portion of the global RPKI dataset is maintained by hundreds of small, independent servers operated by cloud providers, ISPs, educational institutions, and hobbyists rather than the five official Regional Internet Registries. Organizations run independent RPKI servers for legitimate reasons including managed service offerings, cross-RIR simplification, operational control, and research, creating a distributed trust model that requires IT leaders to understand the security and dependency implications of this fragmented infrastructure. This decentralization introduces both resilience benefits and potential risks that CIOs must assess when evaluating their organization's BGP security posture and RPKI validation strategies.
