Trust Anchor Format
RFC 5914, “Trust Anchor Format”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by R. Housley, S. Ashmore, C. Wallace. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a structure for representing trust anchor information. A trust anchor is an authoritative entity represented by 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 or actions for which the trust anchor is authoritative. The structures defined in this document are intended to satisfy the format-related requirements defined in Trust Anchor Management Requirements. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
