The following errata report has been held for document update for RFC8209, "A Profile for BGPsec Router Certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists, and Certification Requests".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8653 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Job Snijders <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2025-11-21 Held by: Ketan Talaulikar (IESG) Section: 3.1.1 Original Text ------------- Encoding options for the common name that are supported are printableString and UTF8String. Corrected Text -------------- The common name attribute is encoded as PrintableString (RFC 6487, Section 4.5). Notes ----- In all other RPKI object profiles a restricted character string type (PrintableString) is used in both issuer & subject name attributes, with the exception of the BGPsec certificate profile where an unjustified exception seems to have slipped in. In this context it is an unnecessary complication for implementers to have to make special accommodations for multibyte characters in some aspects of the BGPsec certificate profile. Verification Notes: This looks to be correct.
