Yes, perhaps trust here is more about the trusted entity behaving as they said they would. For example, actually doing a verification correctly when they said they did a verification, keeping keys safe… Authenticity and integrity follow from that.


Also, I think that there are two trust flows here. The description bounces between them without explicitly saying so. Here’s clips from my slides from IETF 108 describing that.
