A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8183 Title: An Out-of-Band Setup Protocol for Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Production Services Author: R. Austein Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2017 Mailbox: sra@hactrn.net Pages: 23 Characters: 46747 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-oob-setup-09.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8183 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8183 This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (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 means which provides acceptable data integrity and authentication. 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. 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.
