Hi,

To replace "Trusted Root" in IPP OAuth Extensions, I suggest "Trust Anchor"
from my latest ballot draft of SAE J3323 Trust Anchors and Authentication:


3.114 Trust Anchor

A public or symmetric key that is trusted because it is directly built 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
limiting its scope. [NISTSP800-63-3]

1. An authoritative entity for which trust is assumed. In a PKI, a trust
anchor is a certification authority, which is represented by a certificate
that is used to verify the signature on a certificate issued by that
trust-anchor. The security of the validation process depends upon the
authenticity and integrity of the trust anchor’s certificate. Trust anchor
certificates are often distributed as self-signed certificates.
[NISTSP800-57pt1r5]
2. The self-signed public key certificate of a trusted CA.
[NISTSP800-57pt1r5]


And here are the two referenced documents:

NISTSP800-57pt1r5] US NIST, Recommendation for Key Management: Part 1 –
General, SP800-57 Part 1 Revision 5, May 2020.

2017.
