The only real solution is strong cryptographical authentication of the ownership of routing prefixes. For some reason i do not see any serious work in that direction being done.
This would be much easier if we had a bottom-up hierarchical addressing structure rather than the current top-down one. Consider the distribution of cryptographically authenticated connectivity maps a la NIMROD or a multi-level LS protocol, for example, for path authentication vs. how one would distribute and authenticate reachability information with the current addressing structure.
