The SCION Inter-domain Routing Architecture: Security and Scalability in Next-Generation Networks

Learn about the next-generation SCION network architecture in this 42-minute conference talk from NANOG, where Professor Adrian Perrig from ETH Zürich explores how this innovative system provides enhanced security and scalability for critical infrastructure communication. Discover the technical implementation details of SCION's resilient control-plane operation and inter-domain routing capabilities that operate independently from traditional BGP infrastructure. Explore real-world use cases since its 2017 production deployment, including security features like geo-fencing and path validation, while understanding how SCION enables new business opportunities for Internet Service Providers. Gain insights into SCION's interoperability with existing infrastructure, deployment strategies, and the crucial roles of open source communities, Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), and the SCION Association in advancing this secure communication technology.
