The WIT includes attestation measurements that enable fast-path policy evaluation without requiring immediate access to full evidence. The WIT is bound to the HTTP request using OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP), ensuring that attestation claims are protected against replay and token theft. This specification defines a two-tier verification model: lightweight verification using embedded measurements for common scenarios, and deep verification using externalized evidence for high-assurance requirements. This enables secure, cross-domain verification of workload integrity without requiring direct access to platform- specific reference values, while enabling efficient deployments.}, }
