Nový draft IETF pkix - Trust Anchor Management Problem Statement
21.12.2007Abstract:
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.
