We&#8217;ll explore the routing challenges ASPAs are designed to address, how ASPA validation helps detect route leaks, and how ASPAs build on Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) to improve confidence in routing information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session will also cover operational considerations, available tooling, and current adoption trends, along with a demonstration of ASPA visibility in APNIC DASH. By the end of the webinar, participants will have a practical understanding of ASPAs and how they can support stronger routing security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Outline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Routing security foundations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why routing security matters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A brief introduction to RPKI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route origin validation and route leaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Understanding ASPAs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What ASPAs are<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authorised provider-customer relationships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How ASPAs build on ROAs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ASPA validation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Validating BGP AS paths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upstream and downstream validation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route leak detection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protection against forged-path attacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deployment considerations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Defining provider relationships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risks and common misconceptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current adoption trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ASPA Tools and implementation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tools for ASPA creation and validation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ASPA deployment considerations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current implementation status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monitoring ASPAs with APNIC DASH<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ASPA visibility in APNIC DASH<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring ASPA status and readiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future updates in 2027<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b6f5e24b-f168-4367-bff7-fa00db59c0be\" href=\"https:\/\/academy-wp-media-prod.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/06055322\/Understanding-ASPA.pdf\">Slides: Understanding ASPA<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/academy-wp-media-prod.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/06055322\/Understanding-ASPA.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" style=\"margin-left:0.75em\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-b6f5e24b-f168-4367-bff7-fa00db59c0be\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Autonomous System Provider Authorizations (ASP [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15549,"featured_media":34817,"parent":1693,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/webinar-course.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[25,23,42],"class_list":["post-34813","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-network-security","tag-rpki","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15549"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34813"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34825,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34813\/revisions\/34825"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academy.apnic.net\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
