  <description
               value="Before participating in any Verified Health Link (VHL) transactions, the [VHL Sharer](ActorDefinition-VHLSharer.html) and [VHL Receiver](ActorDefinition-VHLReceiver.html) SHALL establish a trust relationship based on shared acceptance of a designated [Trust Anchor](ActorDefinition-TrustAnchor.html).

Trust is established by referencing and accepting public key material published and distributed in accordance with this specification (e.g., via [Distribute PKI Material](Requirements-DistributePKIMaterial.html) and [Receive PKI Material](Requirements-ReceivePKIMaterial.html) transactions).

All participants MUST validate digital signatures using keys that are anchored in the agreed trust framework."/>
