The RPKI Repository Delta Protocol (RRDP)

“…For every repository object listed in the Snapshot and Delta Files, both the hash of the object's content and the rsync URI [RFC5781] of its location in the repository are listed. This makes it possible to distribute the same RPKI repository, represented by a set of files on a filesystem, using both rsync and RRDP.…”

Securing Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) Objects with Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Signatures

“…o Reference to the certificate corresponding to the private key used to sign this object (field "c"): The value of this field MUST be a URL of type "rsync" [RFC5781] or "http(s)" [RFC7230] that points to a specific resource certificate in an RPKI repository [RFC6481]. Any non URL-safe characters (including semicolon ";" and plus "+") must be URL encoded [RFC3986].…”

Origin Validation Operation Based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)

“…A local relying party's valid cache containing all RPKI data may be gathered from the global distributed database using the rsync protocol [RFC5781] and a validation tool such as rcynic [rcynic].…”
