𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗡𝗢𝗚 #41 next week, April 28th! 👋
We will present #SCION at this year’s meeting in Bern, with Tilmann Zäschke speaking.
SCION brings path awareness to inter-domain networking, enabling stronger security, fast failover, and more control over how traffic travels. We are looking forward to sharing recent developments, deployment insights, and meeting the SWINOG community. Find the full agenda here: https://t.co/G5HDyM603S

Big thanks to SCION Association for their support!

We're thrilled to see this work, originally presented by Felix Stöger at USENIX Security 2025, now made accessible to a broader audience. The article explains how what the security community believed was impossible can actually be weaponized against over 20 of the world's 30 largest networks.
A BGP Vortex creates persistent instability in global internet routing that can be deliberately triggered to destabilize routing and potentially cause widespread connectivity outages.
This attack isn't just an academic exercise, it's a real operational risk that affects the resilience of today's internet infrastructure.

I am honored to be featured in NZZ am Sonntag this past weekend, discussing how the #SCION clean-slate Internet architecture can provide improved reliability and security compared to today's Internet.
The article explains:
Why today’s inter-domain routing prioritizes cost over security and performance, how this exposes users and critical infrastructure to unnecessary risks, and 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙎𝘾𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡, 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙩𝙮 𝙗𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣.
SCION is already used in critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, energy, and government — and we are now seeing growing interest from global Internet providers to bring these properties to a much broader audience.
The article is in German and published

For those interested in the architectural foundations of a more secure and resilient Internet, I hope it provides useful context and inspiration.

As our world becomes increasingly cashless, the security and resilience of digital payment systems have never been more critical.
At #SCIONDay2025, the 𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗡 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 introduced the 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘌𝘍𝘛𝘗𝘖𝘚 𝘕𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 (𝘚𝘌𝘗𝘕) — a SCION-based network designed to protect payment flows from cyber threats and Internet outages.

SEPN enables protected, seamless, and reliable transactions at the point of sale, offering an independent and resilient connectivity model for merchants, acquirers, issuers, and schemes. It is a dedicated SCION Isolation Domain (ISD) purpose-built for cashless payments. By running on SCION, SEPN gives merchants, acquirers, issuers, and schemes a trusted, independent network with:
• 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: authenticated paths and isolation reduce attack surface and route manipulation.
• 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: multi-path connectivity and fast failover keep POS and e-commerce flows available.
• 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: participants can communicate without relying on any single communication provider, while still enforcing common rules and governance.

What stood out at SCION Day:
• 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: a nonprofit association aligning merchants (VEZ), acquirers (ep2), and issuers (SPA).
• 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀: Anapaya (primary CA) and Switch (backup CA).
• 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: carriers incl. Swisscom, Sunrise, Cyberlink AG, SWITCH; migrations are underwayacross POS (ep2), alternative payments (e.g., QR/TWINT), e-commerce, and ATMs—with European expansion next.

Switzerland’s approach to digital sovereignty continues to gain international attention — especially its commitment to secure, resilient, and transparent digital infrastructures. I’m delighted to share a recent article examining how the Swiss ecosystem is redefining what sovereignty-focused digital infrastructure can look like, and how #SCION contributes to this evolution.

A special thanks to Vincent Lenders, whose leadership and long-standing commitment to strengthening Switzerland’s digital autonomy have been instrumental in shaping this conversation. His work continues to inspire collaboration across sectors and to highlight the importance of secure-by-design network foundations.

It’s encouraging to see growing international interest in SCION as an enabler for trustworthy connectivity — from finance to healthcare to government services. I’m grateful to all collaborators, operators, and partners who help bring this vision to life every day.

✨ Together, we continue strengthening the Internet for the next decades.

We anticipate to roll out Hummingbird on production networks in 2026, which is very exciting as this will be the first global availability of QoS after 30 years of effort in this area. Thanks to Hummingbird, we can achieve communication guarantees on a public Internet despite DDoS and routing attacks. Numerous applications will be enabled, such as telesurgery and critical infrastructure command-and-control: over a public Internet!

[Adrian Perrig @Adrian_Perrig]

🚨 We discovered a new attack that can destabilize the Internet’s backbone routing protocol.
At the 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘅 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 conference in Seattle, Felix Stöger presented the BGP Vortex: a new attack that traps networks in endless routing oscillations with just three standards-compliant BGP UPDATE messages.

⚠️ Why it matters:
• A single BGP Vortex can generate thousands of BGP UPDATEs per second.
• These updates ripple across the Internet, overloading routers.
• The result: severe control-plane delays and potentially data-plane outages.
• Current defenses like BGPSEC or RPKI cannot stop it.
• 21 of the 30 largest networks are vulnerable today.

🛡️ Mitigation paths:
👎 Use existing BGP stability mechanisms (e.g., MRAI), but suffer slower convergence even without attacks.
👍 Disable the vulnerable BGP extensions, but sacrifice traffic engineering flexibility.
🚀 Adopt future Internet architectures like SCION, which are fundamentally immune to this attack.
This work underscores a pressing reality: as internet routing evolves, capabilities added to BGP can inadvertently enable difficult to detect attacks. Strengthening the resilience of Internet routing is more critical than ever.
