Line 8:
* The list of [[Certificate Policy]] [[Object identifier|OIDs]] acceptable to the relying party (or any);
* The trust anchor of the certificate path; and
* Indicators whether policy mapping is allowed and how/when/whether the "any" policy [[Object identifier|OID]] is to be tolerated. PLEASE MAKE THIS MORE DISCRIPTIVE
 
 
In the standardized algorithm, the following steps are performed for each certificate in the path, starting from the trust anchor. If any check fails on any certificate, the algorithm terminates and path validation fails. (This is an explanatory summary of the scope of the algorithm, not a rigorous reproduction of the detailed steps.)
