      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document specifies the Kernel Identity and Attestation (KIA)
   protocol for the Sovereign Object OS (SOOS) governance architecture.
   KIA defines the cryptographic identity of the GEC, the trust
   chain anchoring kernel authority from hardware root through operator
   root keypair to every signed Event Log entry, the GEC Manifest
   schema for runtime state attestation, and the Revocation Registry
   maintenance requirements.  KIA is the Layer 0 signing and
   attestation component on which the audit trail guarantees of
   draft-sato-soos-gar, the mandate enforcement guarantees of
   draft-sato-soos-mjwt, and the multi-agent delegation chain of
   draft-sato-soos-mad all depend.

   Version -03 adds FROST threshold signing for high-availability GEC
   keypair deployments, the Cross-Principal Identifier (XPID) for
   cross-instance federation audit correlation, the XPID cross-
   instance trust model, and four new Security Considerations
   addressing FROST nonce reuse, XPID revocation gap, identity
   takeover via claimed identifier (CVE-2025-13609 class), and
   attestation channel binding (CVE-2026-33697 class).

   This document is the reference specification for the KIA RATS WG
   presentation at IETF 126 Vienna.  The XPID primitive and the
   CVE-2026-33697 attestation channel binding defense are the primary
   novel contributions presented to the RATS WG.

   Version -04 corrects a registry-format mismatch identified by IANA
   early review (#1456067): the IANA Considerations request to
   register XPID_DERIVED and XPID_VERIFICATION_FAILED into the GAR
   Authority
   Lifecycle Event Types Registry the GAR draft defines now uses that
   registry&#x27;s actual column set (Event Type, Class, Reference) and
   assigns both entries the newly-defined Class ID (Identity/
   Federation event).  No new event types, fields, or normative
   behavior are introduced in -04; this is a registration-format
   correction only.

   Version -05 discloses a known open issue found by a WIMSE security
   review checklist dry-run against -03 (DR-MJWT-KIA-CHECKLIST-01,
   Finding 4): the Cross-Instance Trust Model verifies an XPID but
   does not restrict which federation participants can see the
   underlying Evidence in the first place.  This is named as
   OQ-KIA-EVIDENCE-VIS, following the same acknowledge-rather-than-
   silently-omit pattern this document already uses for
   OQ-S-XPID-REV.  No mechanism is specified in -05; resolution is
   deferred, consistent with how OQ-S-XPID-REV is treated.

   Version -06 closes out a full WIMSE Security Review checklist pass
   (Stage 0 through Stage 2) run against -05.  It restores seven GEC
   Manifest fields silently absent since -03 despite -03&#x27;s text
   claiming the -02 schema was carried forward in full, including
   attestation_certificate; mints a dedicated XPID namespace UUID in
   place of the reused DNS namespace UUID; updates the FROST
   reference from the CFRG working draft to RFC 9591 and corrects
   the nonce-generation section citations; resolves a genuine
   bootstrapping contradiction between the quorum-failure signing
   prohibition and the quorum-failure alerting requirement (new
   CONF-KIA-24); tightens Security Considerations wording describing
   the XPID derivation input; adds a new Denial of Service Security
   Considerations entry for the quorum-isolation availability
   asymmetry; and adds a Privacy Considerations section addressing
   XPID&#x27;s by-design stability and cross-context linkability.  No
   prior conformance requirement is weakened by this revision.

   Version -07 is an editorial revision with no normative content
   changes: sibling-draft citations had gone stale against those
   drafts&#x27; current live versions and are updated to
   draft-sato-soos-cap-06, draft-sato-soos-gar-08,
   draft-sato-soos-mad-05, draft-sato-soos-mjwt-06, and
   draft-sato-soos-idp-06; the companion-drafts discussion&#x27;s HEM
   and AEP mentions are similarly updated to hem-07 and aep-04.
