What is secure routing?

Secure routing refers to the implementation of protocols and practices that protect the integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of routing information in a network. It aims to prevent various attacks, such as route hijacking, spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks, that can compromise data transmission. Secure routing employs methods like cryptographic techniques, secure authentication, and integrity checks to ensure that only legitimate routing updates are accepted and processed. This enhances the overall security and reliability of network communications.
