Routing certificates are simple. If HP "sells" (lends, leases, gifts, insert-favourite-transaction-type-here) address space to someone, HP issues a certificate (or set of certificates) saying that this is how HP wants the address space to be routed; the fact that the routes point to non-HP facilities is nothing that the route certificate verifiers can (or should) care about.

If this is how it works, then apparently you CAN de facto own address space after all.


The RIRs are working to enable clean transfer of address space holdings, using X.509 certs. While one could do what what Harald suggested, the new address space holder would have to worry about HP revoking the cert it issued to effect the transfer. A "cleaner" model would call for HP to effect the transfer through a registry, so that HP is no longer in the cert path.
