Timeliness in validation of chained ACDCs #56

Closed SmithSamuelM closed 7 months ago

SmithSamuelM commented 7 months ago

The default logic for evaluating the validity of a chained ACDC relative to its provenance chain does not account for timeliness of a given ACDC in its chain becoming invalid. Add a short discussion of how its up to the EGF for a given ACDC type to interpret timeliness.

Typically the default is that 1) The chain shall be unbroken at the time of issuance in order for the head (end) ACDC to be validly issued 2) ITs application dependent what the validity state of the head end is at some time later when the chain becomes broken because and ACDC in that chain has either expired or been revoked.
