This document defines a protocol for publishing Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) objects. Even though the RPKI will have many participants issuing certificates and creating other objects@ it is operationally useful to consolidate the publication of those objects. Even in cases where a certificate issuer runs its own publication repository@ it can be useful to run the certificate engine itself on a different machine from the publication repository. This document defines a protocol which addresses these needs.
