7.5. Endorser, Reference Value Provider, and Verifier Owner

In some scenarios, the Endorser, Reference Value Provider, and Verifier Owner may need to trust the Verifier before giving the Endorsement, Reference Values, or appraisal policy to it. This can be done in a similar manner to how a Relying Party might establish trust in a Verifier.

As discussed in Section 7.3, authentication or attestation in both directions might be needed. Typically, one side's identity or Evidence in this case must be considered safe to share with an untrusted entity in order to bootstrap the sequence. See Section 11 for more discussion.
