I don't see how the four-corner model solves the issue that I highlighted.  If 
the client does not have a key for any local AS, then nothing helps.  The 
four-corner model deals with the issue of the client and the RS not trusting 
the same AS, but the different AS entities trust each other on the back side.

Getting trust in a local AS seems to be a bootstrapping problem.

Hence the four-corner model [1].
