The Profile for Algorithms and Key Sizes for Use in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure
RFC 7935, “The Profile for Algorithms and Key Sizes for Use in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2016 by G. Huston, G. Michaelson. It obsoletes RFC 6485. It has since been updated by RFC 8208, RFC 8608. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the algorithms, algorithms' parameters, asymmetric key formats, asymmetric key size, and signature format for the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) subscribers that generate digital signatures on certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) signed objects and certification requests as well as for the relying parties (RPs) that verify these digital signatures.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
