   Title:   On the use of the CMS signing-time attribute in RPKI Signed Objects

Abstract:

   In the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), Signed Objects are
   defined as Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) protected content types
   by way of a standard template (RFC 6488).  That template includes an
   optional CMS signing-time attribute, representing the purported time
   at which the object was signed by its issuer.  At the time when the
   standard template was defined, rsync was the only distribution
   mechanism for RPKI repositories.

   Since the publication of the standard template, a new, additional
   protocol for distribution of RPKI repositories has been developed:
   the RPKI Repository Delta Protocol (RRDP).  While RPKI repository
   operators must provide rsync service, RRDP is typically deployed
   alongside it as well, and preferred by default by most Relying Party
   (RP) implementations.  However, RP implementations also support
   fallback to rsync in the event of problems with the RRDP service.  As
   deployment experience with RRDP has increased, the usefulness of
   optimizing switchovers by RPs from one mechanism to the other has
   become apparent.

   This document describes how Publishers and RPs can use the CMS
   signing-time attribute to minimize the burden of switching over from
   RRDP to rsync.  Additionally, this document updates RFC 6488 by
   mandating the presence of the CMS signing-time attribute and
   disallowing the use of the binary-signing-time attribute.
