The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Out-Of-Band Setup Protocol For RPKI Production Services' (draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-oob-setup-09.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-rpki-oob-setup/ Technical Summary This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of the RPKI provisioning and publication protocols between two parties. The protocol is encoded in a small number of XML messages, which can be passed back and forth by any mutually agreeable secure means. This setup protocol is not part of the provisioning or publication protocol, rather, it is intended to simplify configuration of these protocols by setting up relationships and exchanging keying material used to authenticate those relationships. Working Group Summary The protocol described in this document grew out of a series of workshops held starting in 2010, at which it became clear that manual configuration of keying material and service URLs was both error prone and unnecessarily confusing. The basic mechanism and semantics have been essentially unchanged since the earliest versions of the protocol, but there were several workshop-driven syntax changes and simplifications before the protocol made its way into the IETF, and a few more simplifications and minor extensions have occurred since that time. Document Quality There is a working implementation. Personnel Shepherd: morrowc@ops-netman.net (Chris Morrow) AD: aretana@cisco.com (Alvaro Retana)
