RPKI is unable to address this attack vector.


https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6483

Section 4


A ROA with a subject of AS 0 (AS 0 ROA) is an attestation by the
holder of a prefix that the prefix described in the ROA, and any more
specific prefix, should not be used in a routing context.

And is it your belief that this addresses the described attack vector?
AFAICT, it does not.
