The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGPsec Router Certificate Rollover' (draft-ietf-sidrops-bgpsec-rollover-03.txt) as Best Current Practice This document is the product of the SIDR Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-bgpsec-rollover/ Technical Summary Certificate Authorities (CAs) managing CA certificates and End-Entity (EE) certificates within the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) will also manage BGPsec router certificates. But the rollover of CA and EE certificates BGPsec router certificates have additional considerations for Normal and emergency rollover processes. The rollover must be carefully managed in order to synchronize distribution of router public keys and BGPsec routers creating BGPsec Update messages verified with those router public keys. This document provides general recommendations for the rollover process, as well as describing reasons why the rollover of BGPsec router certificates might be necessary. When this rollover process is followed the rollover should be accomplished without routing information being lost. Working Group Summary As the Document Shepherd says: "This document didn't raise the ire of the WG, which was nice for a change." The document was well reviewed. Document Quality There are existing implementations - the 3 main versions of RPKI supporting software implement this. Personnel Document Shepherd: Chris Morrow. Responsible Area Director: Warren Kumari
