Trust Anchor An Issuer who is considered by a Verifier or a Governance Authority to be authoritative for a particular set of Claims or Credentials. An Issuer may be: a) informally recognized as a Trust Anchor by one or more Verifiers, b) formally designated as a Trust Anchor by a Governance Authority, or c) Accredited as a Trust Anchor by an Auditor. (Note: In the Sovrin Provisional Trust Framework, this term was used to describe what is now defined as an Transaction Endorser. That usage is now deprecated.)
