RPKI/ROA is a way to cryptographically prove what someone needs to prepend if they want to hijack your addresses.

Operators should not be deterred by that comment.  Owen seems to be ignoring
what it does achieve and that this is part of a larger system that is still
emerging.  See IETF sidrops wg.  In the interim, do your part to improve
DFZ hygiene.

Hello,
I am new to RPKI/ROA and still learning about RPKI. From all my reading on ARIN's documents I am not able to answer 
some of my questions.
We have a public ARIN block and advertise smaller subnets from that to our ISP's. We do not have any RPKI configs. 
We need to setup ROA's to take another subnet from the ARIN block to AWS. Reading ARIN's docs, it seems I need to 
get setup on their Hosted RPKI service after which I can configure ROA's for the networks I am taking to AWS.

My question is, will this impact my existing advertisements to my ISP's. The current advertisements do not have 
ROA's.
Will having RPKI for my ARIN network, without ROA's for the existing advertisements impact me?

Thanks for your help.
