[caops-wg] Trust anchor definition

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.
