Signed Object Template for
the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)
Abstract
This document defines a generic profile for signed objects used in
the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). These RPKI signed
objects make use of Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) as a standard
encapsulation format.

1. Introduction
The purpose of the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is to
support assertions by current resource holders of IP (v4 and v6)
address space and AS numbers, based on the records of organizations
that act as Certification Authorities (CAs). IP address and AS
number resource information is carried in X.509 certificates via RFC
3779 extensions [RFC6487]. Other information assertions about
