                      draft-michaelson-rpki-rta-00

Abstract

   This document defines a Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) profile
   for a general purpose Resource Tagged Attestation (RTA), for use with
   the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI).  The objective is to
   allow an attestation, in the form of an arbitrary digital object, to
   be signed "with resources", and for validation to provide an outcome
   of "valid with resources".  The profile is intended to provide for
   the signing of an attestion with an arbitrary set of resources.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines a Cryptographic Mesage Syntax (CMS) [RFC5652]
   profile for a general purpose Resource Tagged Attestation (RTA), for
   use with the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6480].  An
   RTA allows an arbitrary digital object to be signed "with resources,"
   and for validation of the digital signature to provide an outcome of
   "valid with resources."  The profile is intended to provide for the
   signing of a arbitrary attestion with a set of resources by the duly
   delegated resource holder(s).

   The RTA makes use of the template for RPKI Digitally Signed Objects
   [RFC6488], which defines a CMS wrapper for the RTA content, as well
