> system:
> 
> *  Enables ARIN resource holders to request certificates for their IPv4 and 
>    IPv6 Provider Aggregatable (PA) resources
> *  Enables ARIN resource holders to manage Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) 
>    for their PA address space
> *  Provides a public repository of certificates and ROAs
> *  Handles key rollovers and revocations

the simple version of the question: who holds my private key(s)?

the longer version: does this implement my having my own subsidiary CA
with it communiciating with ARIN's and RIPE's ... using the protocols of
the ietf sidr work?
