Abstract
RPS Security [2] requires certain RPSL [1] objects in the IRR to be
hierarchically delegated. The set of objects that are at the root of
this hierarchy needs to be created and digitally signed by IANA. This
paper presents these seed objects and lists operations required from
IANA.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
1 Initial Seed
A public key of IANA needs to be distributed with the software
implementations of Distributed Routing Policy System [3]. An initial
set of seed objects are needed to be signed with this key. The
following transaction (the transaction format is defined in [3])
contains these objects and is signed by this key:

The above text has no extra white space characters at the end of each
line, and contains no tab characters. All blank line sequences
contain only a single blank line. The page break in the text is also
a single blank line.
In this case, we assumed that IANA runs its own repository. However
this is not a requirement. Instead, it may publish this transaction
with an existing routing registry.
2 IANA Assignments
Each time IANA makes an assignment, it needs to create inetnum and
as-block objects as appropriate and digitally sign them using the key
in its key-cert object. For example:

3 Creating Routing Repositories
To enable a new routing repository, a repository object, a maintainer
object and a key-cert object need to be created and digitally signed
by IANA. For example:
mntner: mnt-ripe
descr: RIPE's maintainer
auth: <ripe's choice>
mnt-by: mnt-ripe
referral-by: mnt-iana

This very first transaction of a new repository is placed in the new
repository, not in the IANA repository.
4 Security Considerations
Routing policy system security document [2] defines an hierarchical
authorization model for objects stored in the routing registries.
This document specifies the seed objects and the actions need to be
taken by IANA to maintain the root of that authorization hierarchy.
5 IANA Considerations
This whole document is for detailed consideration by IANA.
