Certificate Policy for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure
RFC 6484, “Certificate Policy for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure”, is a Best Current Practice document published in February 2012 by S. Kent, D. Kong, K. Seo, R. Watro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the certificate policy for a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used to support attestations about Internet Number Resource (INR) holdings. Each organization that distributes IP addresses or Autonomous System (AS) numbers to an organization will, in parallel, issue a (public key) certificate reflecting this distribution. These certificates will enable verification that the resources indicated in the certificate have been distributed to the holder of the associated private key and that this organization is the current, unique holder of these resources. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
