   This document describes a facility to enable a relying party (RP) to
   manage trust anchors (TAs) in the context of the Resource Public Key
   Infrastructure (RPKI). It is common to allow an RP to import TA
   material in the form of self-signed certificates. The facility
   described in this document allows an RP to impose constraints on such
   TAs. Because this mechanism is designed to operate in the RPKI
   context, the relevant constraints are the RFC 3779 extensions that
   bind address spaces and/or autonomous system (AS) numbers to
   entities. The primary motivation for this facility is to enable an RP
   to ensure that resource allocation information that it has acquired
   via some trusted channel is not overridden by the information
   acquired from the RPKI repository system or by the putative TAs that
   the RP imports. Specifically, the mechanism allows an RP to specify a
   set of bindings between public key identifiers and RFC 3779 extension
   data and will override any conflicting bindings expressed via the
   putative TAs and the certificates downloaded from the RPKI repository
   system. Although this mechanism is designed for local use by an RP,
   an entity that is accorded administrative control over a set of RPs
   may use this mechanism to convey its view of the RPKI to a set of RPs
   within its jurisdiction. The means by which this latter use case is
   effected is outside the scope of this document.
