  • Status: Proposed Standard
  • Published: May 2026
  • Stream: IETF
  • Updates: RFC 9286
  • Errata: No Errata

Abstract​

The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) uses signed objects called manifests, each of which includes a manifest number. This document updates RFC 9286 by specifying issuer and Relying Party (RP) behaviour when a manifest number reaches the largest possible value, a situation not considered in RFC 9286.
