Abstract

 RPS Security [2] requires certain RPSL [1] objects in the IRR to be
 hierarchically delegated.  The set of objects that are at the root of
 this hierarchy needs to be created and digitally signed by IANA. This
 paper presents these seed objects and lists operations required from
 IANA.
 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

1 Initial Seed

 A public key of IANA needs to be distributed with the software
 implementations of Distributed Routing Policy System [3].  An initial
 set of seed objects are needed to be signed with this key.  The
 following transaction (the transaction format is defined in [3])
 contains these objects and is signed by this key:

 The above text has no extra white space characters at the end of each
 line, and contains no tab characters.  All blank line sequences
 contain only a single blank line.  The page break in the text is also
 a single blank line.
 In this case, we assumed that IANA runs its own repository.  However
 this is not a requirement.  Instead, it may publish this transaction
 with an existing routing registry.

2 IANA Assignments

 Each time IANA makes an assignment, it needs to create inetnum and
 as-block objects as appropriate and digitally sign them using the key
 in its key-cert object.  For example:

Alaettinoglu, et al. Informational [Page 3] RFC 2754 RPS IANA Issues January 2000

 as-block:     AS0 - AS500
 descr:        arin's space
 country:      us
 status:       ALLOCATED
 source:       iana
 delegated:    arin
 mnt-by:       mnt-iana
 inetnum:      128.0.0.0 - 128.255.255.255
 netname:      Internet portion
 descr:        ip number space
 country:      us
 status:       ALLOCATED
 source:       iana
 delegated:    arin
 mnt-by:       mnt-iana

3 Creating Routing Repositories

 To enable a new routing repository, a repository object, a maintainer
 object and a key-cert object need to be created and digitally signed
 by IANA. For example:
   mntner:        mnt-ripe
   descr:         RIPE's maintainer
   auth:          <ripe's choice>
   mnt-by:        mnt-ripe
   referral-by:   mnt-iana
   admin-c:       . . .
   tech-c:        . . .
   upd-to:        . . .
   mnt-nfy:       . . .
   source:        RIPE
   key-cert: pgpkey-979979
   method: pgp
   owner:  . . .
   fingerpr: . . .
   certif: # this key is for illustration only
   +       -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
   +       Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0
   +
   +       . . .
   +       -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
   mnt-by: mnt-ripe
   source: RIPE

Alaettinoglu, et al. Informational [Page 4] RFC 2754 RPS IANA Issues January 2000

   repository:         RIPE
   query-address:      whois://whois.ripe.net
   response-auth-type: PGPKEY-23F5CE35 # pointer to key-cert object
   response-auth-type: none
   remarks:            you can request rsa signature on queries
   remarks:            PGP required on submissions
   submit-address:     mailto://auto-dbm@ripe.net
   submit-address:     rps-query://whois.ripe.net:43
   submit-auth-type:   pgp-key, crypt-pw, mail-from
   remarks:            these are the authentication types supported
   mnt-by:             maint-ripe-db
   expire:             0000 04:00:00
   heartbeat-interval: 0000 01:00:00
   ...
   remarks:            admin and technical contact, etc
   source:             RIPE
 This very first transaction of a new repository is placed in the new
 repository, not in the IANA repository.

4 Security Considerations

 Routing policy system security document [2] defines an hierarchical
 authorization model for objects stored in the routing registries.
 This document specifies the seed objects and the actions need to be
 taken by IANA to maintain the root of that authorization hierarchy.

5 IANA Considerations

 This whole document is for detailed consideration by IANA.
