An Out-of-Band Setup Protocol for
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Production Services
Abstract
This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of
the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) provisioning and
publication protocols between two parties. The protocol is encoded
in a small number of XML messages, which can be passed back and forth
by any mutually agreeable means which provides acceptable data
integrity and authentication.
This setup protocol is not part of the provisioning or publication
protocol; rather, it is intended to simplify configuration of these
protocols by setting up relationships and exchanging keying material
used to authenticate those relationships.

RFC 8183 RPKI Out-of-Band Setup July 2017
1. Introduction
This note describes a small XML-based out-of-band protocol used to
set up relationships between parents and children in the RPKI
provisioning protocol [RFC6492] and between publishers and
repositories in the RPKI publication protocol [RFC8181].
The basic function of this protocol is public key exchange, in the
form of self-signed X.509 certificates, but workshop experience has
demonstrated that it's simpler for the user if we also bundle the
other configuration information needed to bring up a new player into
the messages used in the key exchange.
The underlying transport for this protocol is deliberately
unspecified. It might be a USB stick, a web interface secured with
conventional HTTPS, PGP-signed email, a T-shirt printed with a Quick
