Careful what you wish for.  Adding heaps of crypto that all of a sudden
decides "oh, this certificate is expired" or "bah, this algorithm is so
insecure, we do not support this key exchange / mac / cipher anymore!"
adds quite a bit of brittleness...

So TCP-MD5 is actually nice because it has none of all that fanciness.

If someone can interfere with TCP packets *inside your network* without
you noticing, RPKI-RTR is likely the least of your worries.

(Using an externally hosted RPKI validator might change these arguments
quite a bit)
