directly trusted CA key
A directly trusted CA key is a public key of a directly trusted CA. It has been obtained and is being stored by an end entity in a secure, trusted manner. It is used to verify certificates without being itself verified by means of a certificate created by another CA. NOTE – If, for example, the CAs of several organizations cross-certify each other (see Annex A), the directly trusted CA for an entity may be the CA of the entity's organization. Directly trusted CAs and directly trusted CA keys may vary from entity to entity. An entity may regard several CAs as directly trusted CAs.
