摘要：We introduce a family of authenticated data structures — Ordered Merkle Trees (OMT) — and illustratetheir utility in security kernels for a wide variety of sub-systems. Specifically, the utility of two types ofOMTs: a) the index ordered merkle tree (IOMT) and b) the range ordered merkle tree (ROMT), areinvestigated for their suitability in security kernels for various sub-systems of Border Gateway Protocol(BGP), the Internet’s inter-autonomous system routing infrastructure. We outline simple generic securitykernel functions to maintain OMTs, and sub-system specific security kernel functionality for BGP subsystems(like registries, autonomous system owners, and BGP speakers/routers), that take advantage ofOMTs.
