Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-rtr-19.txt> (The RPKI/Router Protocol) to Proposed Standard

Danny:

I'm kinda surprised the security ADs are OK with this in a brand new 
connection-oriented protocol meant to increase security of the network:

S.7:

"Caches and routers MUST implement unprotected transport 
over TCP using a port, rpki-rtr, to be assigned, see Section 12.
Operators SHOULD use procedural means, ACLs, ... to reduce 
the exposure to authentication issues."

-danny


Since all of the objects that are transferred over this protocol are digitally 
signed, I do not see a security issue.  I think the Security Considerations 
section (Section 11) does a good job explaining the situation
