It worked for me. A portion of my address space was being advertised from an ISP in Africa… I quickly learned about ARIN RPKI ROA, did it, and within about 10 minutes the wrong routes was gone from looking glass/route servers and suddenly all my ARIN-assigned prefixes showed as “validated” and green. I’m wondering how this works. Do SP’s have some sort of api or bgp session with a rpki database at ARIN? I mean this all must be linked to gather somehow for it to work as nicely as it did. Aaron

If the goal of someone were to hijack your routing, they could (should) announce it using your ASN and thus it would still be RPKI valid?
ROV is not a serious security mechanism. it also does not wash your car. it is meant to deter mis-originations. it seems to work.
