Both the Receiver and Sharer SHALL validate each other's participation in the trust network using PKI material published by the [Trust Anchor](ActorDefinition-TrustAnchor.html).\n\n**Optional behaviors:**\n* The VHL Sharer MAY record an audit event documenting the access request by the Receiver, in accordance with the [Audit Event – Received Health Data](Requirements-AuditEventReceived.html) requirement."] ; #
