Given that it is explicitly listed in the draft, I find it worrisome that you even ask the question.

   Caches and routers MUST implement unprotected transport over TCP
   using a port, RPKI-Rtr, to be assigned, see Section 12.  Operators
   SHOULD use procedural means, ACLs, ... to reduce the exposure to
   authentication issues.

Those aren't enough !?!?
