A Profile for Resource Certificate Repository Structure

Overview

RFC 6481, “A Profile for Resource Certificate Repository Structure”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2012 by G. Huston, R. Loomans, G. Michaelson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a profile for the structure of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) distributed repository. Each individual repository publication point is a directory that contains files that correspond to X.509/PKIX Resource Certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists and signed objects. This profile defines the object (file) naming scheme, the contents of repository publication points (directories), and a suggested internal structure of a local repository cache that is intended to facilitate synchronization across a distributed collection of repository publication points and to facilitate certification path construction. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
