The IESG has received a request from the Secure Inter-Domain Routing WG (sidr) to consider the following document: - 'Securing RPSL Objects with RPKI Signatures' <draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig-10.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-05-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a method to allow parties to electronically sign Routing Policy Specification Language objects and validate such electronic signatures. This allows relying parties to detect accidental or malicious modifications on such objects. It also allows parties who run Internet Routing Registries or similar databases, but do not yet have Routing Policy System Security-based authentication of the maintainers of certain objects, to verify that the additions or modifications of such database objects are done by the legitimate holder(s) of the Internet resources mentioned in those objects. This document updates RFC 2622 and RFC 4012 to add the signature attribute to supported RPSL objects. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
