[caops-wg] Trust anchor definition

[Milan Sova]

	Hi.

This is the trust anchor definition form the Trust Anchor Management 
group strawman charter 
<http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-trust-anchor/mail-archive/msg00350.html>



A trust anchor represents an authoritative entity represented via a public
key and associated data.  The public key is used to verify digital
signatures and the associated data is used to constrain the types of
information for which the trust anchor is authoritative.  Relying parties
use trust anchors to determine if digitally signed information objects are
valid by verifying digital signatures using the trust anchor's public key
and by enforcing the constraints expressed in the associated data.



	Regards
