Hi Alex,
thank you. I read that documentation and I was reading this one from page
201:
https://www.ripe.net/support/training/material/bgp-operations-and-security-training-course/BGP-Slides-Single.pdf


It seems that RIRs have a self-signed root certificate. They use this
certificate to sign LIR's certificates and LIR's private key is used to
sign ROAs. I am not very sure about the use of public keys.

Good morning everyone,
I have a doubt about RPKI chain of trust. The 5 RIRs hold a self-signed
root certificate for all the resources they have in the registry. The root
certificate is used to sign the LIR's certificates that lists LIR's
resources. LIRs use their private key to sign ROAs. LIR's public key is
used to verify ROAs signatures and RIRs public key is used to verify LIR's
signatures.

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Fabiano
