Release Notes

  • For customers of the Hosted RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) service, significant changes have been made, especially to the management of ROAs (Route Origin Authorizations) in ARIN Online.
    • We have removed the requirement for users to generate a public/private key pair to create Resource Certificates and ROAs.
    • Signing up for Hosted RPKI is no longer a ticketed process.
    • Creating ROAs is no longer a ticketed process. Created ROAs will be returned immediately and available in the next repository delta.
    • All ROAs in the repository created using ARIN Online will auto-renew.
    • We have streamlined the top navigation menu of the RPKI pages in ARIN Online.
  • For customers of the Hosted RPKI, changes have been made to the RESTful API for managing ROAs.
    • It is now possible to create and delete multiple ROAs through a single API call.
    • ROAs created with the new API will auto-renew.
    • All ROAs in the repository created using the previous API will not auto-renew and will retain their original expiration date.
    • We have created a new URL associated with the new RESTful API calls for managing ROAs. We will maintain the old API endpoints to prevent existing users from having to change their scripts.
  • We will migrate all existing ROAs in the RPKI repository created using the ARIN Online interface to auto-renew. ROAs generated using the previous RESTful API will not be migrated to auto-renew and will retain their existing expiration date. To take advantage of auto-renew, ROAs created with the previous RESTful API must be replaced with ones created using the newly released RESTful API.
  • Some changes have been made to the management of Delegated RPKI.
    • Signing up for Delegated RPKI service is no longer a ticketed process.
    • Updating the child_request document is no longer a ticketed process.
  • We have made stylistic updates in ARIN Online to provide a more consistent experience across devices and operating systems.
