RPKI Quarterly Planning

We launched this initiative in Q3 2021, and we are open to improving what we publish here and how we do that. So let us know if there are ways we can better present our plans.

We will update this page as our activities progress and continue to share updates on RIPE Labs, on the Routing Working Group (WG) mailing list and at RIPE Meetings and other events.

Q2 2026 Plans

Last Updated: 27 March 2026

Item 1: 2025-02 Automatic Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs

The policy proposal 2025-02 “Revocation of Persistently Non-functional Delegated RPKI CAs” was accepted on 15 October 2025. Work on the implementation has started. The Certification and Publish in Parent Service Terms and Conditions are currently being updated to support this proposal. We expect these new terms to become effective in May, at which point this policy will become actively enforced. .

Status: Planned

Item 2: API Keys

We are planning to replace the current RPKI API keys with OpenID Connect based keys that are integrated with the RIPE NCC Single Sign-On solution (RIPE NCC Access). Furthermore, we plan to add a section to the RPKI dashboard to allow users to manage these keys more easily in the context of RPKI.

Status: Planned

Item 3: Compliance

After concluding the Soc2 Type II in Q4 of 2025 for RPKI-related services, the RPKI Team is also involved in an organisation-wide ISO 27001 audit as well as a new Soc2 type II audit that will kick off in May.
Status: In progress

Item 4: Resource Signed Checklists

The community requested (RPKI-2024#01) that we add support for Resource Signed Checklists (RSC, RFC 9323). The terms and conditions of the RPKI service have been updated recently to support this, and we are planning to implement API support for RSC at the end of Q2, dependent on progress with items #1 #2 and #3. A user interface can be added later if we find that there is demand for this.
Status: Planned

Community Input on Planning

We want the community to contribute to our plans and suggest additional work items. Please share your comments with us or post them on the Routing Working Group mailing list. We will also monitor all the other channels where people talk about RPKI.

We will be adding your feedback on this page as we progress with our plans.

Community input RPKI-2024#02: Known routing beacons with changing RPKI validity would help researchers

Status: Changes to the routing beacons have been proposed. However, we could not yet add an RPKI beacon as the API used would allow editing ROAs for all the RIPE NCC space, and this was not acceptable to us. We will investigate this together with the RIS team in the future.

Archived Quarterly Plans

You can find our plans from previous quarters on this page. The Q2 2026 plans will be archived once we publish the Q3 2026 planning.
