RIPE NCC's Implementation of Resource Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Tree Validation

Overview

RFC 8488, “RIPE NCC's Implementation of Resource Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Tree Validation”, is an Informational document published in December 2018 by O. Muravskiy, T. Bruijnzeels. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes an approach to validating the content of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) certificate tree, as it is implemented in the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator. This approach is independent of a particular object retrieval mechanism, which allows it to be used with repositories available over the rsync protocol, the RPKI Repository Delta Protocol (RRDP), and repositories that use a mix of both.
