RFC 8208: BGPsec Algorithms, Key Formats, and Signature Formats

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8608.

Current version: RFC 8608 — BGPsec Algorithms, Key Formats, and Signature Formats

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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"). 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.
