adding bgpsec to bird

[Matthias Waehlisch]

Hi Mike,

  do you also intend to implement prefix origin validation according to 
IETF/SIDR specs?

  Maybe as a side note: We implemented the RTR protocol as a lightweight 
and very efficient C library, which allows to exchange validated ROAs 
between cache and router and to perform origin validation. The 
implementation is under LGPL license. It is designed to be integrated 
into existing BGP daemons. Feel free to use it.

  Further details:

  If you have further questions about the library, don't hesitate to 
contact me offlist.


Cheers
  matthias
