“US government-funded contractors and US government agencies (like the National Institute of Standards & Technology) are the big pushers. Many people who actually run things are complaining about BGPSEC. These complaints, however, will either be ignored, or will be used to write still more proposals, with more contractors being hired to address the problems. At the base of it all, however, are engineers – smart guys – who are willing to do whatever they are asked, so long as they get a paycheck. They are forging electronic chains for humanity, and passing it all off as ‘a harmless piece of software,’ or, ‘a systems design.'”
