Abstract Abstract
This document defines a protocol for publishing Resource Public Key This document defines a protocol for publishing Resource Public Key
Infrastructure (RPKI) objects. Even though the RPKI will have many Infrastructure (RPKI) objects. Even though the RPKI will have many
participants issuing certificates and creating other objects, it is participants issuing certificates and creating other objects, it is
operationally useful to consolidate the publication of those objects. operationally useful to consolidate the publication of those objects.

2.2. Publication and Withdrawal 2.2. Publication and Withdrawal
The publication protocol uses a common message format to request The publication protocol uses a common message format to request
publication of any RPKI object. This format was chosen specifically publication of any RPKI object. This format was chosen specifically
to allow this protocol to accommodate new types of RPKI objects to allow this protocol to accommodate new types of RPKI objects
without needing changes to this protocol. without needing changes to this protocol.
Both the <publish/> and <withdraw/> objects have a payload of an Both the <publish/> and <withdraw/> PDUs have a payload of an
optional tag and a URI. The <publish/> query also contains the DER optional tag and a URI. The <publish/> query also contains the DER
object to be published, encoded in Base64. object to be published, encoded in Base64.
Both the <publish/> and <withdraw/> PDUs also have a "hash"
attribute, which carries a hash of an existing object at the
specified repository URI. For <withdraw/> PDUs, the hash is
mandatory, as this operation makes no sense if there is no existing
object to withdraw. For <publish/> PDUs, the hash MUST be present if
the publication operation is overwriting an existing object, and MUST
be omitted if this publication operation is writing to a new URI
where no prior object exists. Presence of an object when no hash
attribute is specified is an error, as is absence of the hash
attribute or an incorrect hash value when an object is present. Any
such errors MUST be reported using the <report_error/> PDU.
The current hash algorithm is SHA-256 [SHS], to simplify comparison
of publication protocol hashes with RPKI manifest hashes.
The intent behind the hash attribute is to allow the client and
server to detect any disagreements about the effect that a <publish/>
or <withdraw/> PDU will have on the repository.
Note that every publish and withdraw action requires a new manifest, Note that every publish and withdraw action requires a new manifest,
thus every publish or withdraw action will involve at least two thus every publish or withdraw action will involve at least two
objects. objects.
2.3. Error handling 2.3. Listing the repository
The <list/> operation allows the client to ask the server for a
complete listing of objects which the server believes the client has
published. This is intended primarily to allow the client to recover
upon detecting (probably via use of the "hash" attribute, see
Section 2.2) that they have somehow lost synchronization.
The <list/> query consists of a single PDU.
The <list/> reply consists of zero or more PDUs, one per object
published in this repository by this client, each PDU conveying the
URI and hash of one published object.
2.4. Error handling
Errors are handled at two levels. Errors are handled at two levels.
Since all messages in this protocol are conveyed over HTTP Since all messages in this protocol are conveyed over HTTP
connections, basic errors are indicated via the HTTP response code. connections, basic errors are indicated via the HTTP response code.
4xx and 5xx responses indicate that something bad happened. Errors 4xx and 5xx responses indicate that something bad happened. Errors

Where possible, errors will result in an XML <report_error/> message Where possible, errors result in an XML <report_error/> PDU which

<report_error/> messages only appear in replies, never in queries. <report_error/> PDUs only appear in replies, never in queries.
The <report_error/> message can appear in both the control and

Like all other messages in this protocol, the <report_error/> message Like all other PDUs in this protocol, the <report_error/> PDU
