FORT: RPKI Validator

Since its launch in 2019, the FORT validator developed by LACNIC and NIC.MX has been gaining strength and its use has been increasing across the region.

FORT validator is a free access, open source RPKI validator. Its implementation increases routing system security and resilience. This solution allows operators to validate BGP routing information against the RPKI repository for use in router configuration and resolution.

According to FORT Monitoring, a tool that documents routing incidents and identifies regional trends in route hijacking, RPKI deployment reached 24.6% in the last month for IPv4 and 24.5%* for IPv6 prefixes.

The validator allows generating monthly reports with the data. We invite you to subscribe here to receive monthly reports on the status of routing security in Latin America and the Caribbean and its impact on end users.
