The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Profile for Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs)' (draft-ietf-sidr-roa-format-12.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-roa-format/ Technical Summary This document defines a standard profile for Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs). A ROA is a digitally signed object that provides a means of verifying that an IP address block holder has authorized an Autonomous System (AS) to originate routes to that one or more prefixes within the address block. Working Group Summary The working group intently discussed the potential need for multiple signatures for a ROA. The eventual consensus was that the potential was extremely rare and multiple signatures would be painful to understand and diagnose in operational use. The wg decided that single signatures should be all that was required. Document Quality The document is well written and straightforward. Multiple implementations of the RPKI exist, all of which implement this object. The document makes use of the generic signed object draft. That has the intended effect of concentrating the discussion on the aspects of a ROA signed object that are unique to the ROA. Personnel Sandra Murphy is the Document Shepherd for this document. Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
