rpki-client 7.1 has just been released and will be available in the
rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon.
rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties (RP) to
facilitate validation of the Route Origin of a BGP announcement. The
program queries the RPKI repository system and outputs Validated ROA
Payloads in the configuration format of OpenBGPD, BIRD, and also as
CSV or JSON objects for consumption by other routing stacks.
See RFC 6811 for a description of how BGP Prefix Origin Validation
secures the Internet's global routing system.
rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, Claudio
Jeker, Job Snijders, and Sebastian Benoit as part of the OpenBSD
Project.
This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
* Add keep-alive support to the HTTP client code for RRDP,
* Reference-count and delete unused files synced via RRDP, as far as
possible,
* In the JSON output, change the AS Number from a string ("AS123") to
an integer ("123") to make processing of the output easier,
* Add an 'expires' column to CSV & JSON output, based on certificate
and CRL validity times. The 'expires' value can be used to avoid route
selection based on stale data when generating VRP sets, when faced
with loss of communication between consumer and valdiator, or
validator and CA repository,
* Make the runtime timeout (-s option) also triggers in
child proecesses.
* Improved RRDP support, we encourage testing of RRDP with the -r
option so that RRDP can be enabled by default in a future release.
Please report any issues found.
In the portable version,
* Improve support for older libressl versions (altough the latest
stable release is recommended),
* Add missing compat headers in release packages so they build on
Alpine Linux and macOS.
rpki-client is known to compile and run on at least the following
operating systems: Alpine 3.12, Debian 9, 10, Fedora 31, 32, 33, macOS,
RHEL/CentOS 7, 8, Windows Subsystem for Linux 2, and OpenBSD.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt
rpki-client-portable to more distributions.
The mirrors where rpki-client can be found are on
