Thank you for doing and sharing this work. I am interested in this ASPA-invalid example and have a few questions. 
Q1: Has this example been sent to the network operator of AS 7480? A confirmation from 7480 would help us understand the reasons behind, e.g., a route leak or forgetting list 945 as a provider in the ASPA.
Q2: I would like to do some ASPA-based verification analysis as well. I do not operate a network or a router, so I need to download ASPA data from public sources by myself. Do you know where I can download ASPA objects and the payload?

I copies this email to Job as well :-)

Hi Lancheng and Mike,

This is TsungYi, the AS7480 operator. I will look into this issue and
share the reason here shortly.

Thank you!

I'd expect that the ASPA objects are just part of the global RPKI,
that if you run a (to quote job) rpki-client instance you
can just have it download 'all the data' and then do whatever poking
at it you want.

From rpki-client, if you grab the easily processable rpki-client.json one has the correct and valid view of that current snapshot of the RPKI. The other artefacts are not processes/validated.

Note that with http://www.rpkiviews.org we are collecting these in an archive for research purposes also allowing one to go 'back in time' to check if the state has changed since.

Greets,
