I have spoken with the other co-authors of the RTA document. We are not oppositional to this work.

I think some words to this extend were expressed earlier, but again, if the working group prefers to have a single signed object which does not include a certificate and CRL chain for out-of-band validation, then a much simpler profile based on rpki signed objects (6488), as you are proposing, makes perfect sense.

I believe that a possible constructive way forward would be to adopt your proposal and define single signed RSC objects there. I will repeat my support in the appropriate thread.

The existing work on RTA can then be modified to leverage RSCs for other use cases. So rather then re-defining the signatures, RTAs could include one or more RSC objects. E.g.:

1) out-of-band validation

RTA could define a profile where a user can be sent an RSC, and some or all CA certificates and CRLs needed for validation for complete out-of-band validation. The CMS profile allows to include these, but 6488 does not, and if we do not wish to complicate RSC with this concern, then a level of indirection can help.

2) multi-signing

For those use cases where multiple signatures across different resource sets *are* required (yes, I know this is a corner case), the RTA can define a profile where multiple single signed RSC objects are bundled together.

Of course there are details to cover, but hopefully this gives a good high-level idea, and this approach will allow us all to work constructively together on complementary work.

So, we intend to draft a new version of the RTA specification along these lines. Please speak up if you feel this is not a good way forward.

Kind regards
Tim
