Hi John,

While I appreciate the work by Steve here to allow a relying party to put on the rose coloured validation glasses, it is an inside view looking out. That means is allows an organisation to locally say what it believes is the RPKI view of the world irrespective of what is said globally.

So it certainly has its place - but doesn't address David's position completely where an organisation, such as the UK government, might wish to validly assert their own independent trust anchor for their 51/8 SIDR hierarchy and have the rest of the relying parties on the internet collect it and validate routes against it. Perhaps some focus needs to be placed on truly dealing with multiple (>6) trust anchors in a sense where some globally recognised trust anchor repository might exist and TAs are vetted for correctness of both the TA's 3779 extensions and the organisation mooting ownership in some open, transparent, and unbiased mode. In this fashion, if an organisation (say UK) did wish to secede from RIPE, they could still be a party to the global (trusted) routing system by having their own valid and recognised TA.

Cheers
Terry

David,

What you may be looking for is Steve Kent's Trust Anchor Management presentation (and the errata slide 13) - the last items in the SIDR materials from IETF 75.

With SIDR, again as I understand it (and I'm looking forward to being corrected), the idea is to have 1 or 5 or 6 trust anchors that are administered by the allocating authorities who both manage the top-level as well as control the top-level.
