1. Attackers attempting to replay revoked signatures should be detected by the verification.
1. Revoking the signature for a single artifact should not require revoking the signer's key or signatures for all other artifacts by the same signer.

### Scenario #12: Chaining from a trusted key

If a user does not have a specific key for a given artifact, verified using a third party system, they will need to determine the trusted signing key(s) for an artifact by chaining from a trusted key.

1. The user determines the trusted key(s) for a specific artifact using delegations from a trusted root.
1. The user downloads and verifies an artifact using Notary v2 and the trusted key(s) discovered in the previous step.

**Implications of this requirement**

1. Users must be able to to access a chain of trust that links the signing key for a particular artifact to a trusted root.
1. Users must be able to configure roots of trust.
