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
Internet Draft                RPS IANA Issues               October 15, 1999

presents these seed objects and lists operations required from IANA.


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.

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:


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

  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

  ...
  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.
