The EARS project, led by Parsons and supported by BBN and Dragon Labs, is working with internet communities to design, standardize, and implement technologies to secure the Internet's routing protocol: the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The solution requires two separate components that integrate together to provide complete protection: The "Resource Public Key Infrastructure" (RPKI) and the "BGP Security Extensions" (BGPSEC).

Portions of this work was implemented by the following companies:

• Parsons, Inc.
• Dragon Labs
• Raytheon BBN Technologies

This work was sponsored in part by:

• U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Science & Technology (S&T)
