This
service represents the ability of one resource to determine if its peer can be
trusted. In order to establish trust, well known identities and security
policies must be used, additionally, if inter-domain trust establishment
requires an analysis of the security policies and procedures of the peer
security domain.
Key definitions:
trust:
In cryptology and cryptosystems, that characteristic allowing one entity to
assume that a second entity will behave exactly as the first entity expects.
Note: Trust may apply only for some specific function. The critical role of
trust in the authentication framework is to describe the relationship between
an authenticating entity and a certification authority; an authenticating
entity must be certain that it can trust the certification authority to create
only valid and reliable certificates. [After X.509]
Trust
establishment is implemented through the Identity Establishment and Quality of
Identity Services.
