SNEAK PREVIEW – The ERIK Protocol for use with the RPKI#

Job Snijders - PeeringDB

• Why: New protocol work in routing security is rare and slow-moving; a sneak preview from Job Snijders (a long-time RPKI/BGP practitioner) is one of the more forward-looking items on the program. Anyone whose products touch routing security or trust-anchor infrastructure should see what shape this takes before it lands in drafts.
• What: A first public preview of a proposed protocol intended to work with the RPKI. The program gives no further detail on ERIK's purpose or mechanism. (No abstract published — from title and speaker only.)
• How: Not stated. Given the RPKI framing, the plausible design space is signing/publication/validation extensions around the existing RPKI object model — but the program text does not say this, so do not plan on specifics until the draft or slides are published.
• Where applicable: Any environment that consumes or publishes RPKI data — IXPs, operators, and vendors of routing-security tooling. Early-stage protocol work; expect it to signal direction rather than be deployable. Title-level only; the value here is being early to it.
