Could you elaborate on your enumeration and DDoS concerns? If you're
concerned about the public finding out exactly how many routers you have
because you've published one BGPsec router key per router, you can
choose to use the same router key on multiple routers. If you're
concerned about all the crypto work overloading a router, the plan (as
far as I've heard) is for the routers to do the BGPsec crypto work in
the background as a low priority. I.e., incoming signed routes will
initially be treated like unsigned routes, and the BGPsec validation
will be kicked off in the background. Once the validation is complete,
then routing decisions can be made based on the BGPsec validity.
