| ### Trust pivot | ||
| A trust pivot is a component which allows a trust relationship | ||
| from one entity to another to be transferred, or added, to another | ||
| entity. The validity of the pivot assumes the existence of one or more trust anchors. |

Would it be possible to get an example here? The CA example above made the description more clear. But after reading this I am still not clear on how the trust pivot would work.

Let's drop the hyphens and add the word "it" to the end of the sentence, so:
"is assumed based on the endorsing authority rather than derived from it."

I'm having trouble putting it together @connorkuehl, could you use the built-in suggestion tool to suggest a diff/patch? (<ctrl+g> apparently)

Lots of interesting ideas and food for thought. I think i'm not the only one for whom more non-technical examples would be helpful, to better grasp the difference between anchors and pivots. I think adding a section that more clearly defines how these two articulate would be very helpful!
