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: mntner: mnt-iana descr: iana's maintainer admin-c: JKR1 tech-c: JKR1 upd-to: JKRey@ISI.EDU mnt-nfy: JKRey@ISI.EDU auth: pgpkey-7F6AA1B9 mnt-by: mnt-iana referral-by: mnt-iana source: IANA key-cert: pgpkey-7F6AA1B9 method: pgp owner: iana-root (est.

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. Alaettinoglu et. al. Expires April 15, 2000 [Page 3] Internet Draft RPS IANA Issues October 15, 1999 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: 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 Alaettinoglu et. al.

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.
