I suggest the following changes in Section 4:

OLD:

   Validation of the signing certificate needs to ensure that it is part
   of the current manifest and that the resources are covered by the
   RPKI certificate.

   As the signer specifies the covered RPKI resources relevant to the
   signature, the RPKI certificate covering the inetnum: object's
   address range is included in the [RFC5652] CMS SignedData
   certificates field.

   Identifying the private key associated with the certificate, and
   getting the department with the Hardware Security Module (HSM) to
   sign the CMS blob is left as an exercise for the implementor.  On the
   other hand, verifying the signature requires no complexity; the
   certificate, which can be validated in the public RPKI, has the
   needed public key.

NEW:

   As the signer specifies the covered RPKI resources relevant to the
   signature, the RPKI certificate covering the inetnum: object's
   address range is included in the [RFC5652] CMS SignedData
   certificates field.

   Identifying the private key associated with the certificate, and
   getting the department with the Hardware Security Module (HSM) to
   sign the CMS blob is left as an exercise for the implementor.  On the
   other hand, verifying the signature requires no complexity; the
   certificate, which can be validated in the public RPKI, has the
   needed public key.

   The trust anchors for the RIRs are expected to already be available
   to the party performing signature validation.  Validation of the CMS
   signature on the geofeed file involves:

   1.  Obtain the signer's certificate from an RPKI Repository.  The certificate
   SubjectKeyIdentifier extension [RFC5280] MUST match the
   SubjectKeyIdentifier in the CMS SignerInfo SignerIdentifier [RFC5652].
   If the key identifiers do not match, then validation MUST fail.

   2. Construct the certification path for the signer's certificate.  All of
   the needed certificates are expected to be readily available in the
   RPKI Repository.  The certification path MUST be valid according to
   the validation algorithm in [RFC5280] and the additional checks
   specified in [RFC3779] associated with the IP Address Delegation
   certificate extension and the Autonomous System Identifier Delegation
   certificate extension.  If certification path validation is 
unsuccessful, then
   validation MUST fail.

   3. Validate the CMS SignedData as specified in [RFC5652] using the
   public key from the validated signer's certificate.  If the signature
   validation is unsuccessful, then validation MUST fail.

   4. Verify that the IP Address Delegation certificate extension [RFC3779]
   covers the address range of the geofeed file.  If the address range is
   not covered, then validation MUST fail.

   If all of these steps MUST be successful to consider the geofeed file
   signature as valid.
