sign Routing Policy Specification Language objects and validate such

allows parties who run Internet Routing Registries or similar
databases, but do not yet have Routing Policy System Security-based
authentication of the maintainers of certain objects, to verify that
the additions or modifications of such database objects are done by

objects.
