Technical Summary
A Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) is used by Relying Parties (RPs) in the
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to locate and validate a
Trust Anchor (TA) Certification Authority (CA) certificate used in
RPKI validation. This document defines an RPKI signed object for a
Trust Anchor Key (TAK), that can be used by a TA to signal the
location(s) of the accompanying CA certificate for the current key to
RPs, as well as the successor key and the location(s) of its CA
certificate. This object helps to support planned key rolls without
impacting RPKI validation.
