1. Introduction
This document introduces policy qualifiers in the certificate
policies extension of the RPKI resource certificates. This document
updates [RFC6487].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. Update to RFC 6487
[RFC6487] profiles certificates, certificate revocation lists, and
certificate signing requests specified in [RFC5280] for use in
routing public key infrastructure.
[RFC5280] defines an extension to certificates for the listing of
policy information (see Section 4.2.1.4). [RFC6487] states in
Section 4.8.9: "This extension MUST be present and MUST be marked
critical. It MUST include exactly one policy, as specified in the
RPKI CP [RFC6484]". This references the CertPolicyId of the sequence
allowed in PolicyInformation as defined by [RFC5280].
[RFC5280] also specifies that PolicyInformation may optionally have a
sequence of PolicyQualifierInfo objects. [RFC6487] does not
specifically allow or disallow these PolicyQualifierInfo objects,
although Section 4 also states: "Unless specifically noted as being
OPTIONAL, all the fields listed here MUST be present, and any other
fields MUST NOT appear in a conforming resource certificate."

RFC 7318 RPKI Policy Qualifiers July 2014
Because there is a need for some RPKI Certificate Authorities to
include policy qualifiers in their certificates, this document
updates Section 4.8.9 of [RFC6487] as follows:
OLD:
This extension MUST be present and MUST be marked critical. It
MUST include exactly one policy, as specified in the RPKI
Certificate Policy (CP) [RFC6484].
NEW:
This extension MUST be present and MUST be marked critical. It
MUST include exactly one policy, as specified in the RPKI CP
[RFC6484]. Exactly one policy qualifier MAY be included. If a
