Router Keying for BGPsec
draft-ietf-sidr-rtr-keying-12
Abstract
BGPsec-speaking routers are provisioned with private keys in order to
sign BGPsec announcements. The corresponding public keys are
published in the global Resource Public Key Infrastructure, enabling
verification of BGPsec messages. This document describes two methods
of generating the public-private key-pairs: router-driven and
operator-driven.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to
be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119] only when they
appear in all upper case. They may also appear in lower or mixed
case as English words, without normative meaning.

provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

1. Introduction
BGPsec-speaking routers are provisioned with private keys, which
allow them to digitally sign BGPsec announcements. To verify the
signature, the public key, in the form of a certificate [I-D.ietf-
sidr-bgpsec-pki-profiles], is published in the Resource Public Key
