Just some reasons why you should not sign ROAs or otherwise waste time on RPKI πŸ˜‰
  1. Zero Learning Curve: With no signing, there's no need to understand complex cryptographic principles or key management strategies. Keep your team focused on more pressing issues.
  2. Increased Speed: Skip the overhead of cryptographic validations and let your data run free, at lightning-fast speeds.
  3. Simplified Processes: Eliminate complicated signing procedures from your workflow, making network management straightforward and hassle-free.
  4. Lower Operational Costs: Save on resources, human effort, and money by avoiding the expenses associated with maintaining signed route origins.
  5. No Key Management: With no keys to manage, you eliminate the risk of losing or compromising them. No keys, no problems.
  6. Ease of Implementation: Avoid the hassle of introducing new protocols and dealing with possible incompatibilities. Stick with what you know and what has worked for you.
  7. Quick Network Scaling: Expand and modify your network with ease and speed, without the need to manage signing for every new route.
  8. Streamlined Auditing: Without the need for RPKI infrastructure, network audits become a simpler task.
  9. No False Positives: Without signing, you won't run into validation errors due to misconfigured signatures.
  10. Greater Autonomy: Maintain control over your network, not being bound to third-party certificate authorities.
  11. More Time for Core Tasks: Without the need to worry about route signing, your team can focus on the core tasks that really drive your business.
  12. Unrestricted Routes: Not signing route origins means freedom of movement for your data, with no need to conform to restrictive paths.
  13. Universally Compatible: With no signing, you never have to worry about compatibility issues with older or unconventional systems.
  14. Ease of Recovery: In case of network issues, there's no need to deal with complex recovery procedures involving signed routes.
  15. High Adaptability: Without the rigid structure of signed routes, your network can adapt and change to meet new challenges on the fly.
