Abstract
In contrast to the legacy Internet, SCION was designed and built with security as one of the primary objectives. Therefore, all control-plane messages are authenticated. The verification of those messages relies on a public-key infrastructure (PKI) called the control-plane PKI or CP-PKI. In short, the CPPKI is a set of mechanisms, roles, and policies related to the management and usage of certificates, which enable the verification of signatures, e.g., on path segment construction beacons (PCBs).
