This is provably false.
I am glad you said that in print Paul - you are wrong. I coined the
term... PERIOD.
Carlisle Adams was the first to use the term on the PKIX mailing list in
January of 1998.

Yeah - no.... actually somewhere between 16 and 24 months earlier Steve
read me the riot act for "coining new marketing terms inside PKIX" he
threatened to remove me if I didnt stop too as I recall and that was its
first public use in the PKI community. What was really freaking cool was
how stupid Carlilise's use of my terminology made Kent look.
There are actually three terms - and they come from a work I did on
business process work-flows in 1993.
Trust Anchor - An aspect of a trust process used to correlate the
content of the process to some other reference data-point. This could
include any data-points or controls which provide positive reporting as
to authentications, non-repudiation and synchronization
Portable Trust - Trust Models which can be represented as discrete
policy models. The key source of portability in content records would be
timestamps by the way.
Verifiable Relation - The item that the Trust Anchor provides the
anchoring of.
From an Audit perspective Trust Anchors are used to create reliable
reporting models which are used to implement the social requirements for
human processes in a digital context. That's a bunch of hand waving for
systems and controls which implement human processes as they would be in
the real world, but in a cyber-context. Content which is anchored is
made portable, that is comparable to any other content processed through
a child or like process.
Sorry...
