Nový draft IETF pkix - Trust Anchor Management Problem Statement
19.02.2008Abstract:
A trust anchor is 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. A relying
party uses trust anchors to determine if a digitally signed object is
valid by verifying a digital signature using the trust anchor's
public key, and by enforcing the constraints expressed in the
associated data for the trust anchor. 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. This document discusses only public keys as trust
anchors; symmetric key trust anchors are not considered.
