<abstract>
<t>This document presents the proposal for a stronger authentication method of the updates of the RIPE database based on digital signatures. The proposal tries to be as general as possible as far as digital signing methods are concerned, however, it concentrates mainly on PGP, as the first method to be implemented.  The proposal is the result of the discussions within the RIPE DBSEC Task Force.</t></abstract></front>
