You need to approach it from the EID and not from the RLOC; show that the ETR can speak for the EID prefix. Hence with a PKI approach you´d need to build a certificate infrastrure based on the delegation of the EID prefixes.

which is called RPKI (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sidr-arch-03.txt)

which introduces delays.

I just remembered an idea that Noel Chiappa had when we were working on LISP-CONS. Instead of having a key for every site, have just a few keys, say one for each RIR. The ETR sending the Map-Reply does not sign it with its own key. Rather, when the prefix is allocated, the RIR also hands out a signed statement that that site has that prefix. Then the ITR receiving the Map-Reply doesn't need to go look up a key for the ETR, it can simply have those few RIR keys on-hand. Less delay. It's a thought, anyway.
