An Out-of-Band Setup Protocol for Resource Public Key Infrastructure Production Services

Overview

RFC 8183, “An Out-of-Band Setup Protocol for Resource Public Key Infrastructure Production Services”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2017 by R. Austein. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) provisioning and publication protocols between two parties. The protocol is encoded in a small number of XML messages, which can be passed back and forth by any mutually agreeable means which provides acceptable data integrity and authentication.

This setup protocol is not part of the provisioning or publication protocol; rather, it is intended to simplify configuration of these protocols by setting up relationships and exchanging keying material used to authenticate those relationships.
