BGP routing security remains a challenge for Internet service providers, particularly those with more limited technical and financial resources. Across the LACNIC region, adoption of mechanisms such as RPKI/ROV and ASPA remains uneven, while the transition toward post-quantum cryptographic technologies introduces new challenges for network infrastructure. PRTR seeks to help reduce these barriers through an open and accessible platform that enables routing security mechanisms to be tested, validated, and deployed in real-world environments. The project will combine BGP validation testing, assessments of post-quantum technologies, and operator-oriented documentation, with a particular focus on the needs of small and medium-sized ISPs in Latin America and the Caribbean.
