Then simply authenticate any/all changes to the route servers, such as PGP signed email to "auto-dbm@ra.net". Curt-

Or maybe, use a route server!

It is such accidents that reinforce the notion of per-prefix filtering. Of course if one changes one's IRR/RIPE DB/RADB entries to deliberately announce the world there could still be a problem with auto-generated accept policy. The solution to *that* is quality assurance of the database, an ongoing issue in RIPE DB WG at least.

Even then how does one prevent someone coding 'ANY' for their announce policy when they should not? In the old NFSNET days human inspection of IRR entries assured quality but that's not practical anymore at a central registry.

sure, one has accept policy but other than excluding RFC1918 and your own address space and default you have no practical choice but to reference the other guy's aut-num object and the associated routes.
