Trust anchor

A public or symmetric key that is trusted because it is built directly into hardware or software or securely provisioned via out-of-band means rather than because it is vouched for by another trusted entity (e.g., in a public-key certificate). A trust anchor may have name or policy constraints that limit its scope.
