Algorithm Agility Procedure for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure
RFC 6916, “Algorithm Agility Procedure for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure”, is a Best Current Practice document published in April 2013 by R. Gagliano, S. Kent, S. Turner. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the process that Certification Authorities (CAs) and Relying Parties (RPs) participating in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) will need to follow to transition to a new (and probably cryptographically stronger) algorithm set. The process is expected to be completed over a timescale of several years. Consequently, no emergency transition is specified. The transition procedure defined in this document supports only a top-down migration (parent migrates before children).
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
