I am not a router vendor, but it seems that adding some sort of auth key to
BGP (similar to the auth system of OSPF) wouldn't be all that difficult. 
You could specify a key for each peer.


FYI:

mae-public(config-router)#neigh 192.41.177.1 password ?
  <0-7>  Encryption type (0 to disable encryption, 7 for proprietary)
  LINE   The password

I am not sure how many people use it though.
