Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Trust Anchor Locator
Abstract
This document defines a Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) for the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). The TAL allows Relying Parties in
the RPKI to download the current Trust Anchor (TA) Certification
Authority (CA) certificate from one or more locations and verify that
the key of this self-signed certificate matches the key on the TAL.
Thus, Relying Parties can be configured with TA keys but can allow
these TAs to change the content of their CA certificate. In
particular, it allows TAs to change the set of IP Address Delegations
and/or Autonomous System Identifier Delegations included in the
extension(s) (RFC 3779) of their certificate.
This document obsoletes the previous definition of the TAL as
provided in RFC 7730 by adding support for Uniform Resource
Identifiers (URIs) (RFC 3986) that use HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) (RFC
7230) as the scheme.

1. Introduction
This document defines a Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) for the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6480]. This format may be used
to distribute Trust Anchor (TA) material using a mix of out-of-band
and online means. Procedures used by Relying Parties (RPs) to verify
RPKI signed objects SHOULD support this format to facilitate
interoperability between creators of TA material and RPs. This
document obsoletes [RFC7730] by adding support for Uniform Resource
Identifiers (URIs) [RFC3986] that use HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) [RFC7230]
