Add text describing origin issuer selection #146

Closed chris-wood closed 2 years ago

chris-wood commented 2 years ago

Different issuers may trust different attesters, and the security posture of the origin when using a specific issuer depends on this set of trusted attesters. In effect, origins get the "minimum" guarantees across all attesters trusted by a selected issuer. If an origin needs to ensure different types of attestation requirements, it should do so by choosing issuers with different trusted attesters. We should add text describing these origin/issuer arrangement questions.
