Hey Pranav, Do you really believe that each 7-11 or Walmart store will be subscribing to global RPKI or building their own key infrastructure? I do not. It seems few orders of magnitude easier to sign advertisements at the src/spoke and validate signature at the hub site by the same very network admin residing in the enterprise hub location. That is something we should define in BGP for VPNs and not trying to reuse origin validation concept which works well (for what it is designed to do) in the Internet case.
Btw ,,, I do not buy any "trusted" ASBR business ;) Best, R.
