Abstract

   The RIPE database specifications and RPSL define languages used as
   the basis for representing information in a routing policy system.  A
   repository for routing policy system information is known as a
   routing registry.  A routing registry provides a means of exchanging
   information needed to address many issues of importance to the
   operation of the Internet.  The implementation and deployment of a
   routing policy system must maintain some degree of integrity to be of
   any use.  The Routing Policy System Security RFC [3] addresses the
   need to assure integrity of the data by proposing an authentication
   and authorization model.  This document addresses the need to
   distribute data over multiple repositories and delegate authority for
   data subsets to other repositories without compromising the
   authorization model established in Routing Policy System Security
   RFC.
