# rpki – A Library for Validating and Creating RPKI Data
This crate aims to provide the foundation for implementing Resource
Public Key Infrastructure – RPKI –, which is an important building block
in Internet routing security. The crate provides the ability to parse,
validate, and create the the objects published in the RPKI: certificates,
CRLs, manifests, and ROAs. It also provides functionality share between
certification authority and publication software such as the protocol the
two use for communication.
The crate is work in progress and will grow over time to be more and more
complete.
## Usage
Add the following dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```
[dependencies]
rpki = "^0.1"
```
Sadly, at this time, we don’t have a usage guide or detailed documentation
for the crate. We are planning to rectify this oversight in the near
future.
