RFC 7909 Title: Securing Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) Objects with Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Signatures Author: R. Kisteleki, B. Haberman Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2016 Mailbox: robert@ripe.net, brian@innovationslab.net Pages: 14 Characters: 30493 Updates: RFC 2622, RFC 4012 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sidr-rpsl-sig-12.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7909 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7909 This document describes a method that allows parties to electronically sign Routing Policy Specification Language objects and validate such electronic signatures. This allows relying parties to detect accidental or malicious modifications of such objects. It also allows parties who run Internet Routing Registries or similar databases, but do not yet have authentication (based on Routing Policy System Security) 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 RFCs 2622 and 4012 to add the signature attribute to supported RPSL objects. This document is a product of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
