BGPsec Algorithms, Key Formats, and Signature Formats
Abstract
This document specifies the algorithms, algorithm parameters,
asymmetric key formats, asymmetric key sizes, and signature formats
used in BGPsec (Border Gateway Protocol Security). This document
updates RFC 7935 ("The Profile for Algorithms and Key Sizes for Use
in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure") and obsoletes RFC 8208
("BGPsec Algorithms, Key Formats, and Signature Formats") by adding
Documentation and Experimentation Algorithm IDs, correcting the range
of unassigned algorithms IDs to fill the complete range, and
restructuring the document for better reading.
This document also includes example BGPsec UPDATE messages as well as
the private keys used to generate the messages and the certificates
necessary to validate those signatures.
