The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Securing RPSL Objects with RPKI Signatures' (draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary This document has been in the working group for a long time; periodic interest polls have always been positive. Document Quality Yes, IRR implementations exist. The reviews so far have been thorough. Personnel Shepherd: Sandra Murphy Responsible AD: Alvaro Retana
