so i was trying to ensure i had a current set of TALs and was directed to https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/certification/r... the supposed TAL at the bottom of the page is pretty creative. anyone know what to do there? i kinda hacked with emacs and get rsync://rpki.ripe.net/ta/ripe-ncc-ta.cerpublic.key.info MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA0URYSGqUz2myBsOzeW1jQ6NsxNvlLMyhWknvnl8NiBCs/T/S2XuNKQNZ+wBZxIgPPV2pFBFeQAvoH/WK83HwA26V2siwm/MY2nKZ+Olw+wlpzlZ1p3Ipj2eNcKrmit8BwBC8xImzuCGaV0jkRB0GZ0hoH6Ml03umLprRsn6v0xOP0+l6Qc1ZHMFVFb385IQ7FQQTcVIxrdeMsoyJq9eMkE6DoclHhF/NlSllXubASQ9KUWqJ0+Ot3QCXr4LXECMfkpkVR2TZT+v5v658bHVs6ZxRD1b6Uk1uQKAyHUbn/tXvP8lrjAibGzVsXDT2L0x4Edx+QdixPgOji3gBMyL2VwIDAQAB but kinda expected an rrdp uri too and, to add insult to injury, the APNIC web page with their TAL https://www.apnic.net/community/security/resource-certification/ requires javascript! not to mention the ARIN stupidity as if we needed another exercise in bureaucrats making operations painful. most operations of any size have internal departments perfectly capable of doing that. randy

btw this is not correct/useful anyway. it probably should be more like rsync://rpki.ripe.net/ta/ripe-ncc-ta.cer MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA0URYSGqUz2myBsOzeW1jQ6NsxNvlLMyhWknvnl8NiBCs/T/S2XuNKQNZ+wBZxIgPPV2pFBFeQAvoH/WK83HwA26V2siwm/MY2nKZ+Olw+wlpzlZ1p3Ipj2eNcKrmit8BwBC8xImzuCGaV0jkRB0GZ0hoH6Ml03umLprRsn6v0xOP0+l6Qc1ZHMFVFb385IQ7FQQTcVIxrdeMsoyJq9eMkE6DoclHhF/NlSllXubASQ9KUWqJ0+Ot3QCXr4LXECMfkpkVR2TZT+v5v658bHVs6ZxRD1b6Uk1uQKAyHUbn/tXvP8lrjAibGzVsXDT2L0x4Edx+QdixPgOji3gBMyL2VwIDAQAB

I concur. Four out of five RIR Trust Anchor Locators were recently updated to allow fetching the Trust Anchor via an HTTPS URI, further removing the dependence on rsync. Sadly, most TALs are not clearly published anywhere and I had to get them though GitHub issues and emails to be able to include them in the latest Routinator release. These are what we believe to be the correct, up-to-date RPKI TALs: https://github.com/NLnetLabs/routinator/tree/master/tals You can find more discussion about this topic here: https://github.com/NICMx/FORT-validator/issues/34 https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/rpki-validator-3/pull/215 RPA grief aside, ARIN seems to be the only RIR that publishes the latest version of their TAL clearly and correctly: https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/rpki/tal/ -Alex

<rhetorical question> why is it so hard that all RIRs make their TAL files available under the same URL path but different hosts, e.g., https://ripe.net/rpki/tal, https://arin.net/rpki/tal ? </rhetorical question> obviously, a single TAL would be better but this needs even more rhetoric ... cheers matthias -- Matthias Waehlisch .

Hi Randy, all, We’ve updated our page: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/certification/r... <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/certification/ripe-ncc-rpki-trust-anchor-structure> It now shows the correct TALs: https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc.tal <https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc.tal> (preferred) https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc-rfc8630.tal <https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc-rfc8630.tal> https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc-validator-3.tal <https://tal.rpki.ripe.net/ripe-ncc-validator-3.tal> (RIPE NCC RPKI Validator 3 format) I hope this helps. Best regards, Nathalie Trenaman RIPE NCC

looks great visually. stuffed in a dragon validator, just for qa. thanks! randy

Hi all, We've also simplified our webpage: https://afrinic.net/rpki/tal And the URL to the TAL: https://rpki.afrinic.net/tal/afrinic.tal Cheers, Amreesh Phokeer AFRINIC On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 4:59 PM Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:
