Abstract

This document describes FACTS (Factor-based Attestation and Credential Transport Scheme) over TLS 1.3. Conceptually acting as "multi-factor authentication" for machine identities, factor-based attestation derives session trust from multiple independent cryptographic inputs rather than a single point of failure. Specifically, it utilizes a dual-key scheme that binds identity to attestation evidence through the use of key encapsulation material keys (KEM) and traditional identity signing keys (IK), establishing per-session freshness.
