Talk:Certification path validation algorithm

Hi,

the second sentence states that "A path starts with the Subject certificate and proceeds through a number of intermediate certificates up to a trusted root certificate" but in the explanation of RFC5280, the article says: "In the standardized algorithm, the following steps are performed for each certificate in the path, starting from the trust anchor."

So where do we start? With the trust anchor or the subject?
