This draft is mostly the same as the -02 draft that had been submitted for the TAM BOF. A revised draft will be submitted next month to address comments collected from the various TAM straw poll threads over the past few weeks or any comments relative to this draft between now and then.

> A trust anchor represents an authoritative entity 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 objects are valid by verifying
> digital signatures using the trust anchor's public key and by
> enforcing the constraints expressed in the associated data.
> This document describes some of the problems associated with
> the lack of a standard trust anchor management mechanism as
> well as problems that must be addressed by such a mechanism.
