The Entity Attestation Token (EAT)
draft-ietf-rats-eat-11
Abstract
An Entity Attestation Token (EAT) provides a signed (attested) set of
claims that describe state and characteristics of an entity,
typically a device like a phone or an IoT device. These claims are
used by a Relying Party to determine how much it wishes to trust the
entity.
An EAT is either a CWT or JWT with some attestation-oriented claims.
To a large degree, all this document does is extend CWT and JWT.

1. Introduction
Remote device attestation is a fundamental service that allows a
remote device such as a mobile phone, an Internet-of-Things (IoT)
device, or other endpoint to prove itself to a Relying Party, a
server or a service. This allows the Relying Party to know some
characteristics about the device and decide whether it trusts the
device.
The notion of attestation here is large and may include, but is not
limited to the following:
o Proof of the make and model of the device hardware (HW)
o Proof of the make and model of the device processor, particularly
for security-oriented chips
o Measurement of the software (SW) running on the device
o Configuration and state of the device
o Environmental characteristics of the device such as its GPS
location
This document uses the terminology and main operational model defined
in [RATS.Architecture]. In particular it is a format that can be
used for Attestation Evidence or Attestation Results as defined in
the RATS architecture.
1.1. CWT, JWT, UCCS, UJCS and DEB
An EAT is a set of claims about an entity/device based on one of the
following:
o CBOR Web Token (CWT), [RFC8392]
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
o Unprotected CWT Claims Sets (UCCS), [UCCS.Draft]
o JSON Web Token (JWT), [RFC7519]
All definitions, requirements, creation and validation procedures,
security considerations, IANA registrations and so on from these
carry over to EAT.
This specification extends those specifications by defining
additional claims for attestation. This specification also describes
the notion of a "profile" that can narrow the definition of an EAT,
ensure interoperability and fill in details for specific usage
scenarios. This specification also adds some considerations for
registration of future EAT-related claims.
The identification of a protocol element as an EAT, whether CBOR or
JSON encoded, follows the general conventions used by CWT, JWT and
UCCS. Largely this depends on the protocol carrying the EAT. In
some cases it may be by content type (e.g., MIME type). In other
cases it may be through use of CBOR tags. There is no fixed
mechanism across all use cases.
This specification adds two more top-level messages:
o Unprotected JWT Claims Set (UJCS), Section 4
o Detached EAT Bundle (DEB), Section 5
A DEB is simple structure to hold a collection of detached claims-
sets and the EAT that separately provides integrity and authenticity
protection for them. It can be either CBOR or JSON encoded.
1.2. CDDL, CBOR and JSON
An EAT can be encoded in either CBOR or JSON. The definition of each
claim is such that it can be encoded either. Each token is either
entirely CBOR or JSON, with only an exception for nested tokens.
To implement composite attestation as described in the RATS
architecture document, one token has to be nested inside another. It
is also possible to construct composite Attestation Results (see
below) which may be expressed as one token nested inside another. So
as to not force each end-end attestation system to be all JSON or all
CBOR, nesting of JSON-encoded tokens in CBOR-encoded tokens and vice
versa is accommodated by this specification. This is the only place
that CBOR and JSON can be mixed.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
This specification formally uses CDDL, [RFC8610], to define each
claim. The implementor interprets the CDDL to come to either the
CBOR [RFC8949] or JSON [ECMAScript] representation. In the case of
JSON, Appendix E of [RFC8610] is followed. Additional rules are
given in Section 8.2.2 where Appendix E is insufficient.
The CWT and JWT specifications were authored before CDDL was
available and did not use CDDL. This specification includes a CDDL
definition of most of what is defined in [RFC8392]. Similarly, this
specification includes CDDL for most of what is defined in [RFC7519].
The UCCS specification does not include CDDL. This specification
provides CDDL for it.
(TODO: The authors are open to modifications to this specification
and the UCCS specification to include CDDL for UCCS and UJCS there
instead of here.)
1.3. Operating Model and RATS Architecture
While it is not required that EAT be used with the RATS operational
model described in Figure 1 in [RATS.Architecture], or even that it
be used for attestation, this document is authored with an
orientation around that model.
To summarize, an Attester on an entity/device generates Attestation
Evidence. Attestation Evidence is a Claims Set describing various
characteristics of the entity/device. Attestation Evidence also is
usually signed by a key that proves the entity/device and the
evidence it produces are authentic. The Claims Set includes a nonce
or some other means to provide freshness. EAT is designed to carry
Attestation Evidence. The Attestation Evidence goes to a Verifier
where the signature is validated. Some of the Claims may also be
validated against Reference Values. The Verifier then produces
Attestation Results which is also usually a Claims Set. EAT is also
designed to carry Attestation Results. The Attestation Results go to
the Relying Party which is the ultimate consumer of the "Remote
Attestaton Procedures", RATS. The Relying Party uses the Attestation
Results as needed for the use case, perhaps allowing a device on the
network, allowing a financial transaction or such.
Note that sometimes the Verifier and Relying Party are not separate
and thus there is no need for a protocol to carry Attestation
Results.

Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
1.3.1. Use as Attestation Evidence
Any claim defined in this document or in the IANA CWT or JWT registry
may be used in Attestation Evidence.
Attestation Evidence nearly always has to be signed or otherwise have
authenticity and integrity protection because the Attester is remote
relative to the Verifier. Usually, this is by using COSE/JOSE
signing where the signing key is an attestation key provisioned into
the entity/device by its manufacturer. The details of how this is
achieved are beyond this specification, but see Section 6. If there
is already a suitable secure channel between the Attester and
Verifier, UCCS may be used.
1.3.2. Use as Attestation Results
Any claim defined in this document or in the IANA CWT or JWT registry
may be used in Attestation Results.
It is useful to characterize the relationship of claims in Evidence
to those in Attestation Results.
Many claims in Attestation Evidence simply will pass through the
Verifier to the Relying Party without modification. They will be
verified as authentic from the device by the Verifier just through
normal verification of the Attester's signature. The UEID,
Section 3.4, and Location, Section 3.14, are examples of claims that
may be passed through.
Some claims in Attestation Evidence will be verified by the Verifier
by comparison to Reference Values. These claims will not likely be
conveyed to the Relying Party. Instead, some claim indicating they
were checked may be added to the Attestation Results or it may be
tacitly known that the Verifier always does this check. For example,
the Verifier receives the Software Evidence claim, Section 3.21,
compares it to Reference Values and conveys the results to the
Relying Party in a Software Measurement Results Claim, Section 3.22.
In some cases the Verifier may provide privacy-preserving
functionality by stripping or modifying claims that do not posses
sufficient privacy-preserving characteristics. For example, the data
in the Location claim, Section 3.14, may be modified to have a
precision of a few kilometers rather than a few meters.
When the Verifier is remote from the Relying Party, the Attestation
Results must be protected for integrity, authenticity and possibly
confidentiality. Often this will simply be HTTPS as per a normal web

Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
service, but COSE or JOSE may also be used. The details of this
protection are beyond the scope of this document.
1.4. Entity Overview
An "entity" can be any device or device subassembly ("submodule")
that can generate its own attestation in the form of an EAT. The
attestation should be cryptographically verifiable by the EAT
consumer. An EAT at the device-level can be composed of several
submodule EAT's.
Modern devices such as a mobile phone have many different execution
environments operating with different security levels. For example,
it is common for a mobile phone to have an "apps" environment that
runs an operating system (OS) that hosts a plethora of downloadable
apps. It may also have a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) that is
distinct, isolated, and hosts security-oriented functionality like
biometric authentication. Additionally, it may have an eSE (embedded
Secure Element) - a high security chip with defenses against HW
attacks that is used to produce attestations. This device
attestation format allows the attested data to be tagged at a
security level from which it originates. In general, any discrete
execution environment that has an identifiable security level can be
considered an entity.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This document reuses terminology from JWT [RFC7519] and CWT
[RFC8392].
Claim: A piece of information asserted about a subject. A claim is
represented as pair with a value and either a name or key to
identify it.
Claim Name: A unique text string that identifies the claim. It is
used as the claim name for JSON encoding.
Claim Key: The CBOR map key used to identify a claim.
Claim Value: The value portion of the claim. A claim value can be
any CBOR data item or JSON value.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
CWT/JWT Claims Set: The CBOR map or JSON object that contains the
claims conveyed by the CWT or JWT.
This document reuses terminology from RATS Architecure
[RATS.Architecture]
Attester: A role performed by an entity (typically a device) whose
Evidence must be appraised in order to infer the extent to which
the Attester is considered trustworthy, such as when deciding
whether it is authorized to perform some operation.
Verifier: A role that appraises the validity of Attestation Evidence
about an Attester and produces Attestation Results to be used by a
Relying Party.
Relying Party: A role that depends on the validity of information
about an Attester, for purposes of reliably applying application
specific actions. Compare /relying party/ in [RFC4949].
Attestation Evidence: A Claims Set generated by an Attester to be
appraised by a Verifier. Attestation Evidence may include
configuration data, measurements, telemetry, or inferences.
Attestation Results: The output generated by a Verifier, typically
including information about an Attester, where the Verifier
vouches for the validity of the results
Reference Values: A set of values against which values of Claims can
be compared as part of applying an Appraisal Policy for
Attestation Evidence. Reference Values are sometimes referred to
in other documents as known-good values, golden measurements, or
nominal values, although those terms typically assume comparison
for equality, whereas here Reference Values might be more general
and be used in any sort of comparison.
3. The Claims
This section describes new claims defined for attestation that are to
be added to the CWT [IANA.CWT.Claims] and JWT [IANA.JWT.Claims] IANA
registries.
This section also describes how several extant CWT and JWT claims
apply in EAT.
CDDL, along with a text description, is used to define each claim
independent of encoding. Each claim is defined as a CDDL group. In
Section 8 on encoding, the CDDL groups turn into CBOR map entries and
JSON name/value pairs.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
Each claim described has a unique text string and integer that
identifies it. CBOR encoded tokens MUST use only the integer for
Claim Keys. JSON encoded tokens MUST use only the text string for
Claim Names.
3.1. Token ID Claim (cti and jti)
CWT defines the "cti" claim. JWT defines the "jti" claim. These are
equivalent to each other in EAT and carry a unique token identifier
as they do in JWT and CWT. They may be used to defend against re use
of the token but are distinct from the nonce that is used by the
Relying Party to guarantee freshness and defend against replay.
3.2. Timestamp claim (iat)
The "iat" claim defined in CWT and JWT is used to indicate the date-
of-creation of the token, the time at which the claims are collected
and the token is composed and signed.
The data for some claims may be held or cached for some period of
time before the token is created. This period may be long, even
days. Examples are measurements taken at boot or a geographic
position fix taken the last time a satellite signal was received.
There are individual timestamps associated with these claims to
indicate their age is older than the "iat" timestamp.
CWT allows the use floating-point for this claim. EAT disallows the
use of floating-point. No token may contain an iat claim in float-
point format. Any recipient of a token with a floating-point format
iat claim may consider it an error. A 64-bit integer representation
of epoch time can represent a range of +/- 500 billion years, so the
only point of a floating-point timestamp is to have precession
greater than one second. This is not needed for EAT.
3.3. Nonce Claim (nonce)
All EATs should have a nonce to prevent replay attacks. The nonce is
generated by the Relying Party, the end consumer of the token. It is
conveyed to the entity over whatever transport is in use before the
token is generated and then included in the token as the nonce claim.
This documents the nonce claim for registration in the IANA CWT
claims registry. This is equivalent to the JWT nonce claim that is
already registered.
The nonce must be at least 8 bytes (64 bits) as fewer are unlikely to
be secure. A maximum of 64 bytes is set to limit the memory a
constrained implementation uses. This size range is not set for the
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
already-registered JWT nonce, but it should follow this size
recommendation when used in an EAT.
Multiple nonces are allowed to accommodate multistage verification
and consumption.
$$claims-set-claims //=
(nonce-label => nonce-type / [ 2* nonce-type ])
nonce-type = bstr .size (8..64)
3.4. Universal Entity ID Claim (ueid)
UEID's identify individual manufactured entities / devices such as a
mobile phone, a water meter, a Bluetooth speaker or a networked
security camera. It may identify the entire device or a submodule or
subsystem. It does not identify types, models or classes of devices.
It is akin to a serial number, though it does not have to be
sequential.
UEID's must be universally and globally unique across manufacturers
and countries. UEIDs must also be unique across protocols and
systems, as tokens are intended to be embedded in many different
protocols and systems. No two products anywhere, even in completely
different industries made by two different manufacturers in two
different countries should have the same UEID (if they are not global
and universal in this way, then Relying Parties receiving them will
have to track other characteristics of the device to keep devices
distinct between manufacturers).
There are privacy considerations for UEID's. See Section 10.1.
The UEID is permanent. It never change for a given device / entity.
UEIDs are variable length. All implementations MUST be able to
receive UEIDs that are 33 bytes long (1 type byte and 256 bits). The
recommended maximum sent is also 33 bytes.
When the entity constructs the UEID, the first byte is a type and the
following bytes the ID for that type. Several types are allowed to
accommodate different industries and different manufacturing
processes and to give options to avoid paying fees for certain types
of manufacturer registrations.
Creation of new types requires a Standards Action [RFC8126].

+------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+
Table 1: UEID Composition Types
UEID's are not designed for direct use by humans (e.g., printing on
the case of a device), so no textual representation is defined.
The consumer (the Relying Party) of a UEID MUST treat a UEID as a
completely opaque string of bytes and not make any use of its
internal structure. For example, they should not use the OUI part of
a type 0x02 UEID to identify the manufacturer of the device. Instead
they should use the oemid claim that is defined elsewhere. The
reasons for this are:
o UEIDs types may vary freely from one manufacturer to the next.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
o New types of UEIDs may be created. For example, a type 0x07 UEID
may be created based on some other manufacturer registration
scheme.
o Device manufacturers are allowed to change from one type of UEID
to another anytime they want. For example, they may find they can
optimize their manufacturing by switching from type 0x01 to type
0x02 or vice versa. The main requirement on the manufacturer is
that UEIDs be universally unique.
A Device Indentifier URN is registered for UEIDs. See Section 9.3.4.
$$claims-set-claims //= (ueid-label => ueid-type)
ueid-type = bstr .size (7..33)
3.5. Semi-permanent UEIDs (SUEIDs)
An SEUID is of the same format as a UEID, but it may change to a
different value on device life-cycle events. Examples of these
events are change of ownership, factory reset and on-boarding into an
IoT device management system. A device may have both a UEID and
SUEIDs, neither, one or the other.
There may be multiple SUEIDs. Each one has a text string label the
purpose of which is to distinguish it from others in the token. The
label may name the purpose, application or type of the SUEID.
Typically, there will be few SUEDs so there is no need for a formal
labeling mechanism like a registry. The EAT profile may describe how
SUEIDs should be labeled. If there is only one SUEID, the claim
remains a map and there still must be a label. For example, the
label for the SUEID used by FIDO Onboarding Protocol could simply be
"FDO".
There are privacy considerations for SUEID's. See Section 10.1.

3.6. Hardware OEM Identification (oemid)
This claim identifies the OEM of the hardware. Any of the three
forms may be used at the convenience of the attester implementation.
The receiver of this claim MUST be able to handle all three forms.
3.6.1. Random Number Based
This format is always 16 bytes in size (128 bits).
The OEM may create their own ID by using a cryptographic-quality
random number generator. They would perform this only once in the
life of the company to generate the single ID for said company. They
would use that same ID in every device they make. This uniquely
identifies the OEM on a statistical basis and is large enough should
there be ten billion companies.
The OEM may also use a hash like SHA-256 and truncate the output to
128 bits. The input to the hash should be somethings that have at
least 96 bits of entropy, but preferably 128 bits of entropy. The
input to the hash may be something whose uniqueness is managed by a
central registry like a domain name.
This is to be base64url encoded in JSON.
3.6.2. IEEE Based
The IEEE operates a global registry for MAC addresses and company
IDs. This claim uses that database to identify OEMs. The contents
of the claim may be either an IEEE MA-L, MA-M, MA-S or an IEEE CID
[IEEE.RA]. An MA-L, formerly known as an OUI, is a 24-bit value used
as the first half of a MAC address. MA-M similarly is a 28-bit value
uses as the first part of a MAC address, and MA-S, formerly known as
OUI-36, a 36-bit value. Many companies already have purchased one of
these. A CID is also a 24-bit value from the same space as an MA-L,
but not for use as a MAC address. IEEE has published Guidelines for
Use of EUI, OUI, and CID [OUI.Guide] and provides a lookup services
[OUI.Lookup].
Companies that have more than one of these IDs or MAC address blocks
should pick one and prefer that for all their devices.
Commonly, these are expressed in Hexadecimal Representation
[IEEE.802-2001] also called the Canonical format. When this claim is
encoded the order of bytes in the bstr are the same as the order in
the Hexadecimal Representation. For example, an MA-L like "AC-DE-48"
would be encoded in 3 bytes with values 0xAC, 0xDE, 0x48. For JSON
encoded tokens, this is further base64url encoded.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
This format is always 3 bytes in size in CBOR.
3.6.3. IANA Private Enterprise Number
IANA maintains a simple integer-based company registry called the
Private Enterprise Number (PEN) [PEN].
PENs are often used to create an OID. That is not the case here.
They are used only as a simple integer.
In CBOR this is encoded as a major type 0 integer in CBOR and is
typically 3 bytes. It is encoded as a number in JSON.

oemid-ieee = bstr .size 3

$$claims-set-claims //= (

3.7. Hardware Version Claims (hardware-version-claims)
The hardware version can be claimed at three different levels, the
chip, the circuit board and the final device assembly. An EAT can
include any combination these claims.
The hardware version is a simple text string the format of which is
set by each manufacturer. The structure and sorting order of this
text string can be specified using the version-scheme item from
CoSWID [CoSWID].
The hardware version can also be given by a 13-digit [EAN-13]. A new
CoSWID version scheme is registered with IANA by this document in
Section 9.3.3. An EAN-13 is also known as an International Article
Number or most commonly as a bar code.

3.8. Software Name Claim
This is a simple free-form text claim for the name of the software.
A CoSWID manifest or other type of manifest can be used instead if
this is too simple.
$$claims-set-claims //= ( sw-name-label => tstr )
3.9. Software Version Claim

]
3.10. The Security Level Claim (security-level)
This claim characterizes the device/entity ability to defend against
attacks aimed at capturing the signing key, forging claims and at
forging EATs. This is by defining four security levels as described
below.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
These claims describe security environment and countermeasures
available on the end-entity/client device where the attestation key
resides and the claims originate.
1 - Unrestricted: There is some expectation that implementor will
protect the attestation signing keys at this level. Otherwise,
the EAT provides no meaningful security assurances.
2 - Restricted: Entities at this level are not general-purpose
operating environments that host features such as app download
systems, web browsers and complex productivity applications. It
is akin to the secure-restricted level (see below) without the
security orientation. Examples include a Wi-Fi subsystem, an IoT
camera, or sensor device. Often these can be considered more
secure than unrestricted just because they are much simpler and a
smaller attack surface, but this won't always be the case. Some
unrestricted devices may be implemented in a way that provides
poor protection of signing keys.
3 - Secure-Restricted: Entities at this level must meet the criteria
defined in section 4 of FIDO Allowed Restricted Operating
Environments [FIDO.AROE]. Examples include TEE's and schemes
using virtualization-based security. Like the FIDO security goal,
security at this level is aimed at defending well against large-
scale network/remote attacks against the device.
4 - Hardware: Entities at this level must include substantial
defense against physical or electrical attacks against the device
itself. It is assumed any potential attacker has captured the
device and can disassemble it. Examples include TPMs and Secure
Elements.
The entity should claim the highest security level it achieves and no
higher. This set is not extensible so as to provide a common
interoperable description of security level to the Relying Party. If
a particular implementation considers this claim to be inadequate, it
can define its own proprietary claim. It may consider including both
this claim as a coarse indication of security and its own proprietary
claim as a refined indication.
This claim is not intended as a replacement for a proper end-device
security certification scheme such as those based on FIPS 140
[FIPS-140] or those based on Common Criteria [Common.Criteria]. The
claim made here is solely a self-claim made by the Attester.

3.11. Secure Boot Claim (secure-boot)
The value of true indicates secure boot is enabled. Secure boot is
considered enabled when base software, the firmware and operating
system, are under control of the entity manufacturer identified in
the OEMID claim described in Section 3.6. This may because the
software is in ROM or because it is cryptographically authenticated
or some combination of the two or other.
$$claims-set-claims //= (secure-boot-label => bool)
3.12. Debug Status Claim (debug-status)
This applies to system-wide or submodule-wide debug facilities of the
target device / submodule like JTAG and diagnostic hardware built
into chips. It applies to any software debug facilities related to
root, operating system or privileged software that allow system-wide
memory inspection, tracing or modification of non-system software
like user mode applications.
This characterization assumes that debug facilities can be enabled
and disabled in a dynamic way or be disabled in some permanent way
such that no enabling is possible. An example of dynamic enabling is
one where some authentication is required to enable debugging. An
example of permanent disabling is blowing a hardware fuse in a chip.
The specific type of the mechanism is not taken into account. For
example, it does not matter if authentication is by a global password
or by per-device public keys.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
As with all claims, the absence of the debug level claim means it is
not reported. A conservative interpretation might assume the Not
Disabled state. It could however be that it is reported in a
proprietary claim.
This claim is not extensible so as to provide a common interoperable
description of debug status to the Relying Party. If a particular
implementation considers this claim to be inadequate, it can define
its own proprietary claim. It may consider including both this claim
as a coarse indication of debug status and its own proprietary claim
as a refined indication.
The higher levels of debug disabling requires that all debug
disabling of the levels below it be in effect. Since the lowest
level requires that all of the target's debug be currently disabled,
all other levels require that too.
There is no inheritance of claims from a submodule to a superior
module or vice versa. There is no assumption, requirement or
guarantee that the target of a superior module encompasses the
targets of submodules. Thus, every submodule must explicitly
describe its own debug state. The Verifier or Relying Party
receiving an EAT cannot assume that debug is turned off in a
submodule because there is a claim indicating it is turned off in a
superior module.
An individual target device / submodule may have multiple debug
facilities. The use of plural in the description of the states
refers to that, not to any aggregation or inheritance.
The architecture of some chips or devices may be such that a debug
facility operates for the whole chip or device. If the EAT for such
a chip includes submodules, then each submodule should independently
report the status of the whole-chip or whole-device debug facility.
This is the only way the Relying Party can know the debug status of
the submodules since there is no inheritance.
3.12.1. Enabled
If any debug facility, even manufacturer hardware diagnostics, is
currently enabled, then this level must be indicated.
3.12.2. Disabled
This level indicates all debug facilities are currently disabled. It
may be possible to enable them in the future, and it may also be
possible that they were enabled in the past after the target device/
sub-system booted/started, but they are currently disabled.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
3.12.3. Disabled Since Boot
This level indicates all debug facilities are currently disabled and
have been so since the target device/sub-system booted/started.
3.12.4. Disabled Permanently
This level indicates all non-manufacturer facilities are permanently
disabled such that no end user or developer cannot enable them. Only
the manufacturer indicated in the OEMID claim can enable them. This
also indicates that all debug facilities are currently disabled and
have been so since boot/start.
3.12.5. Disabled Fully and Permanently
This level indicates that all debug capabilities for the target
device/sub-module are permanently disabled.

3.13. Including Keys
An EAT may include a cryptographic key such as a public key. The
signing of the EAT binds the key to all the other claims in the
token.
The purpose for inclusion of the key may vary by use case. For
example, the key may be included as part of an IoT device onboarding
protocol. When the FIDO protocol includes a pubic key in its
attestation message, the key represents the binding of a user, device
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
and Relying Party. This document describes how claims containing
keys should be defined for the various use cases. It does not define
specific claims for specific use cases.
Keys in CBOR format tokens SHOULD be the COSE_Key format [RFC8152]
and keys in JSON format tokens SHOULD be the JSON Web Key format
[RFC7517]. These two formats support many common key types. Their
use avoids the need to decode other serialization formats. These two
formats can be extended to support further key types through their
IANA registries.
The general confirmation claim format [RFC8747], [RFC7800] may also
be used. It provides key encryption. It also allows for inclusion
by reference through a key ID. The confirmation claim format may
employed in the definition of some new claim for a a particular use
case.
When the actual confirmation claim is included in an EAT, this
document associates no use case semantics other than proof of
posession. Different EAT use cases may choose to associate further
semantics. The key in the confirmation claim MUST be protected the
same as the key used to sign the EAT. That is, the same, equivalent
or better hardware defenses, access controls, key generation and such
must be used.
3.14. The Location Claim (location)
The location claim gives the location of the device entity from which
the attestation originates. It is derived from the W3C Geolocation
API [W3C.GeoLoc]. The latitude, longitude, altitude and accuracy
must conform to [WGS84]. The altitude is in meters above the [WGS84]
ellipsoid. The two accuracy values are positive numbers in meters.
The heading is in degrees relative to true north. If the device is
stationary, the heading is NaN (floating-point not-a-number). The
speed is the horizontal component of the device velocity in meters
per second.
When encoding floating-point numbers half-precision should not be
used. It usually does not provide enough precision for a geographic
location. It is not a requirement that the receiver of an EAT
implement half-precision, so the receiver may not be able to decode
the location.
The location may have been cached for a period of time before token
creation. For example, it might have been minutes or hours or more
since the last contact with a GPS satellite. Either the timestamp or
age data item can be used to quantify the cached period. The
timestamp data item is preferred as it a non-relative time.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
The age data item can be used when the entity doesn't know what time
it is either because it doesn't have a clock or it isn't set. The
entity must still have a "ticker" that can measure a time interval.
The age is the interval between acquisition of the location data and
token creation.
See location-related privacy considerations in Section 10.2 below.

3.15. The Uptime Claim (uptime)
The "uptime" claim contains a value that represents the number of
seconds that have elapsed since the entity or submod was last booted.
$$claims-set-claims //= (uptime-label => uint)
3.16. The Boot Seed Claim (boot-seed)
The Boot Seed claim is a random value created at system boot time
that will allow differentiation of reports from different boot
sessions. This value is usually public and not protected. It is not
the same as a seed for a random number generator which must be kept
secret.

3.17. The Intended Use Claim (intended-use)
EAT's may be used in the context of several different applications.
The intended-use claim provides an indication to an EAT consumer
about the intended usage of the token. This claim can be used as a
way for an application using EAT to internally distinguish between
different ways it uses EAT.
1 - Generic Generic attestation describes an application where the
EAT consumer requres the most up-to-date security assessment of
the attesting entity. It is expected that this is the most
commonly-used application of EAT.
2- Registration Entities that are registering for a new service may
be expected to provide an attestation as part of the registration
process. This intended-use setting indicates that the attestation
is not intended for any use but registration.
3 - Provisioning Entities may be provisioned with different values
or settings by an EAT consumer. Examples include key material or
device management trees. The consumer may require an EAT to
assess device security state of the entity prior to provisioning.
4 - Certificate Issuance (Certificate Signing Request) Certifying
authorities (CA's) may require attestations prior to the issuance
of certificates related to keypairs hosted at the entity. An EAT
may be used as part of the certificate signing request (CSR).
5 - Proof-of-Possession An EAT consumer may require an attestation
as part of an accompanying proof-of-possession (PoP) appication.
More precisely, a PoP transaction is intended to provide to the
recipient cryptographically-verifiable proof that the sender has
posession of a key. This kind of attestation may be neceesary to
verify the security state of the entity storing the private key
used in a PoP application.

3.18. The Profile Claim (profile)
See Section 7 for the detailed description of a profile.
A profile is identified by either a URL or an OID. Typically, the
URI will reference a document describing the profile. An OID is just
a unique identifier for the profile. It may exist anywhere in the
OID tree. There is no requirement that the named document be
publicly accessible. The primary purpose of the profile claim is to
uniquely identify the profile even if it is a private profile.
The OID is encoded in CBOR according to [CBOR.OID] and the URI
according to [RFC8949]. Both are unwrapped and thus not tags. The
OID is always absolute and never relative. If the claims CBOR type
is a text string it is a URI and if a byte string it is an OID.
Note that this named "eat_profile" for JWT and is distinct from the
already registered "profile" claim in the JWT claims registry.

3.19. The DLOA (Digital Letter or Approval) Claim (dloas)
A DLOA (Digital Letter of Approval) [DLOA] is an XML document that
describes a certification that a device or entity has received.
Examples of certifications represented by a DLOA include those issued
by Global Platform and those based on Common Criteria. The DLOA is
unspecific to any particular certification type or those issued by
any particular organization.
This claim is typically issued by a Verifier, not an Attester. When
this claim is issued by a Verifier, it MUST be because the entity,
device or submodule has received the certification in the DLOA.
This claim can contain more than one DLOA. If multiple DLOAs are
present, it MUST be because the entity, device or submodule received
all of the certifications.
DLOA XML documents are always fetched from a registrar that stores
them. This claim contains several data items used to construct a URL
for fetching the DLOA from the particular registrar.
The first data item is a URI for the registrar. The second data item
is a platform label to indicate the particular platform that was
certified. For platform certifications only these two are needed.
A DLOA may equally apply to an application. In that case it has the
URI for the registrar, a platform label and additionally an
application label.
The method of combining the registrar URI, platform label and
possibly application label is specified in [DLOA].

3.20. The Software Manifests Claim (manifests)
This claim contains descriptions of software that is present on the
device. These manifests are installed on the device when the
software is installed or are created as part of the installation
process. Installation is anything that adds software to the device,
possibly factory installation, the user installing elective
applications and so on. The defining characteristic is that they are
created by the software manufacturer. The purpose of these claims in
an EAT is to relay them without modification to the Verifier and/or
the Relying Party.
In some cases these will be signed by the software manufacturer
independent of any signing for the purpose of EAT attestation.
Manifest claims should include the manufacturer's signature (which
will be signed over by the attestation signature). In other cases
the attestation signature will be the only one.
This claim allows multiple formats for the manifest. For example the
manifest may be a CBOR-format CoSWID, an XML-format SWID or other.
Identification of the type of manifest is always by a CBOR tag. In
many cases, for examples CoSWID, a tag will already be registered
with IANA. If not, a tag MUST be registered. It can be in the
first-come-first-served space which has minimal requirements for
registration.
The claim is an array of one or more manifests. To facilitate hand
off of the manifest to a decoding library, each manifest is contained
in a byte string. This occurs for CBOR-format manifests as well as
non-CBOR format manifests.
If a particular manifest type uses CBOR encoding, then the item in
the array for it MUST be a byte string that contains a CBOR tag. The
EAT decoder must decode the byte string and then the CBOR within it
to find the tag number to identify the type of manifest. The
contents of the byte string is then handed to the particular manifest
processor for that type of manifest. CoSWID and SUIT manifest are
examples of this.
If a particular manifest type does not use CBOR encoding, then the
item in the array for it must be a CBOR tag that contains a byte
string. The EAT decoder uses the tag to identify the processor for
that type of manifest. The contents of the tag, the byte string, are
handed to the manifest processor. Note that a byte string is used to
contain the manifest whether it is a text based format or not. An
example of this is an XML format ISO/IEC 19770 SWID.

Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
It is not possible to describe the above requirements in CDDL so the
type for an individual manifest is any in the CDDL below. The above
text sets the encoding requirement.
This claim allows for multiple manifests in one token since multiple
software packages are likely to be present. The multiple manifests
may be of multiple formats. In some cases EAT submodules may be used
instead of the array structure in this claim for multiple manifests.
When the [CoSWID] format is used, it MUST be a payload CoSWID, not an
evidence CoSWID.

3.21. The Software Evidence Claim (swevidence)
This claim contains descriptions, lists, evidence or measurements of
the software that exists on the device. The defining characteristic
of this claim is that its contents are created by processes on the
device that inventory, measure or otherwise characterize the software
on the device. The contents of this claim do not originate from the
software manufacturer.
In most cases the contents of this claim are signed as part of
attestation signing, but independent signing in addition to the
attestation signing is not ruled out when a particular evidence
format supports it.
This claim uses the same mechanism for identification of the type of
the swevidence as is used for the type of the manifest in the
manifests claim. It also uses the same byte string based mechanism
for containing the claim and easing the hand off to a processing
library. See the discussion above in the manifests claim.

3.22. The SW Measurement Results Claim (swresults)
This claims reports the outcome of the comparison of a measurement on
some software to the expected Reference Values. It may report a
successful comparison, failed comparison or other.
This claim may be generated by the Verifier and sent to the Relying
Party. For example, it could be the results of the Verifier
comparing the contents of the swevidence claim to Reference Values.
This claim can also be generated on the device if the device has the
ability for one subsystem to measure another subsystem. For example,
a TEE might have the ability to measure the software of the rich OS
and may have the Reference Values for the rich OS.
Within an attestation target or submodule, multiple results can be
reported. For example, it may be desirable to report the results for
the kernel and each individual application separately.
For each software objective, the following can be reported.
3.22.1. Scheme
This is the free-form text name of the verification system or scheme
that performed the verification. There is no official registry of

This roughly characterizes the coverage of the software measurement
software. This corresponds to the attestation target or the

measurement must indicate partial.
1 - all Indicates all the software has been verified, for example,
all the software in the attestation target or the submodule
2 - firmware Indicates all of and only the firmware
3 - kernel Refers to all of the most-privileged software, for

5 - system-libs Refers to all of the system libraries that are
broadly shared and used by applications and such

This describes the result of the measurement and also the comparison
to Reference Values.
1 - verificaton-not-run Indicates no attempt was made to run the
verification
2 - verification-indeterminite The verification was attempted, but
it did not produce a result; perhaps it ran out of memory, the
battery died or such
3 - verification-failed The verification ran to completion, the
comparison was completed and did not compare correctly to the
Reference Values
4 - fully-verified The verification ran to completion and all
measurements compared correctly to Reference Values

3.23. Submodules (submods)
Some devices are complex, having many subsystems. A mobile phone is
a good example. It may have several connectivity subsystems for
communications (e.g., Wi-Fi and cellular). It may have subsystems
for low-power audio and video playback. It may have one or more
security-oriented subsystems like a TEE or a Secure Element.
The claims for a subsystem can be grouped together in a submodule or
submod.
The submods are in a single map/object, one entry per submodule.
There is only one submods map/object in a token. It is identified by
its specific label. It is a peer to other claims, but it is not
called a claim because it is a container for a claims set rather than
an individual claim. This submods part of a token allows what might
be called recursion. It allows claims sets inside of claims sets
inside of claims sets...
3.23.1. Submodule Types
The following sections define the three major types of submodules:
o A submodule Claims-Set
o A nested token, which can be any valid EAT token, CBOR or JSON
o The digest of a detached Claims-Set
These are distinguished primarily by their data type which may be a
map/object, string or array.
3.23.1.1. Submodule Claims-Set
This is simply a subordinate Claims-Set containing claims about the
submodule.
The submodule claims-set is produced by the same Attester as the
surrounding token. It is secured using the same mechanism as the
enclosing token (e.g., it is signed by the same attestation key). It
roughly corresponds to an Attester Target Environment as described in
the RATS architecture.
It may contain claims that are the same as its surrounding token or
superior submodules. For example, the top-level of the token may
have a UEID, a submod may have a different UEID and a further
subordinate submodule may also have a UEID.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
The encoding of a submodule Claims-Set is always the same as the
encoding as the token it is part of.
This data type for this type of submodule is a map/object as that is
the type of a Claims-Set.
3.23.1.2. Nested Token
This type of submodule is a fully formed complete token. It is
typically produced by a separate Attester. It is typically used by a
Composite Device as described in RATS Architecture
[RATS.Architecture]
In being a submodule of the surrounding token, it is
cryptographically bound to the surrounding token. If it was conveyed
in parallel with the surrounding token, there would be no such
binding and attackers could substitute a good attestation from
another device for the attestation of an errant subsystem.
A nested token does NOT need to use the same encoding as the
enclosing token. This is to allow Composite Devices to be built
without regards to the encoding supported by their Attesters.
Thus a CBOR-encoded token like a CWT or UCCS can have a JWT as a
nested token submodule and a JSON-encoded token can have a CWT or
UCCS as a nested token submodule.
The data type for this type of submodule is either a text or byte
string.
Mechanisms are defined for identifying the encoding and type of the
nested token. These mechanisms are different for CBOR and JSON
encoding. The type of a CBOR-encoded nested token is identified
using the CBOR tagging mechanism and thus is in common with
identification used when any CBOR-encoded token is part of a CBOR-
based protocol. A new simple type mechanism is defined for
indication of the type of a JSON-encoded token since there is no JSON
equivalent of tagging.
3.23.1.2.1. Surrounding EAT is CBOR-Encoded
If the submodule is a byte string, then the nested token is CBOR-
encoded. The byte string always wraps a token that is a tag. The
tag identifies whether the nested token is a CWT, a UCCS or a CBOR-
encoded DEB.
If the submodule is a text string, then the nested token is JSON-
encoded. The text string contains JSON. That JSON is the exactly
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 34]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
the JSON described in the next section with one exception. The token
can't be CBOR-encoded.
; This specifies how one fully-formed token is nested inside a
; CBOR-format token. The fully-formed nested token is any valid
; token, CBOR or JSON (JWT, CWT, UCCS, DEB...) The mechanism for
; identifying the type of the nested token is specific to the format
; of the surrounding token, CBOR in this case.
;
; A primary reason this is encoding-specific is that JSON does not
; have an equivalent to CBOR tags.
;
; If the data type here is text, then the nested token is JSON
; format, one of a JWT, UJCS or JSON-encoded DEB. The means for
; distinguishing which is in the definition of JSON-encoded
; Nested-Token. If the data type is bstr, then the nested token
; is CBOR format. It is byte-string wrapped and identified by a
;CBOR tag.

3.23.1.2.2. Surrounding EAT is JSON-Encoded
A nested token in a JSON-encoded token is an array of two items. The
first is a string that indicates the type of the second item as
follows:
"JWT" A JWT formatted according to [RFC7519]
"CBOR" Some base64url-encoded CBOR that is a tag that is either a
CWT, UCCS or CBOR-encoded DEB
"UJCS" A UJCS-Message. (A UJCS-Message is identical to a JSON-
encoded Claims-Set)
"DEB" A JSON-encoded Detached EAT Bundle.

; that is a CBOR tag that has been base64url encoded.
B64URL-Tagged-CBOR-Token = tstr .regexp "[A-Za-z0-9_=-]+"
3.23.1.3. Detached Submodule Digest
This is type of submodule equivalent to a Claims-Set submodule,
except the Claims-Set is conveyed separately outside of the token.
This type of submodule consists of a digest made using a
cryptographic hash of a Claims-Set. The Claims-Set is not included
in the token. It is conveyed to the Verifier outside of the token.
The submodule containing the digest is called a detached digest. The
separately conveyed Claims-Set is called a detached claims set.
The input to the digest is exactly the byte-string wrapped encoded
form of the Claims-Set for the submodule. That Claims-Set can
include other submodules including nested tokens and detached
digests.
The primary use for this is to facilitate the implementation of a
small and secure attester, perhaps purely in hardware. This small,
secure attester implements COSE signing and only a few claims,
perhaps just UEID and hardware identification. It has inputs for
digests of submodules, perhaps 32-byte hardware registers. Software
running on the device constructs larger claim sets, perhaps very
large, encodes them and digests them. The digests are written into
the small secure attesters registers. The EAT produced by the small
secure attester only contains the UEID, hardware identification and
digests and is thus simple enough to be implemented in hardware.
Probably, every data item in it is of fixed length.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
The integrity protection for the larger Claims Sets will not be as
secure as those originating in hardware block, but the key material
and hardware-based claims will be. It is possible for the hardware
to enforce hardware access control (memory protection) on the digest
registers so that some of the larger claims can be more secure. For
example, one register may be writable only by the TEE, so the
detached claims from the TEE will have TEE-level security.
The data type for this type of submodule is an array It contains two
data items, an algorithm identifier and a byte string containing the
digest.
A DEB, described in Section 5, may be used to convey detached claims
sets and the token with their detached digests. EAT, however,
doesn't require use of a DEB. Any other protocols may be used to
convey detached claims sets and the token with their detached
digests. Note that since detached Claims-Sets are usually signed,
protocols conveying them must make sure they are not modified in
transit.
3.23.2. No Inheritance
The subordinate modules do not inherit anything from the containing
token. The subordinate modules must explicitly include all of their
claims. This is the case even for claims like the nonce.
This rule is in place for simplicity. It avoids complex inheritance
rules that might vary from one type of claim to another.
3.23.3. Security Levels
The security level of the non-token subordinate modules should always
be less than or equal to that of the containing modules in the case
of non-token submodules. It makes no sense for a module of lesser
security to be signing claims of a module of higher security. An
example of this is a TEE signing claims made by the non-TEE parts
(e.g. the high-level OS) of the device.
The opposite may be true for the nested tokens. They usually have
their own more secure key material. An example of this is an
embedded secure element.
3.23.4. Submodule Names
The label or name for each submodule in the submods map is a text
string naming the submodule. No submodules may have the same name.

4. Unprotected JWT Claims-Sets
This is simply the JSON equivalent of an Unprotected CWT Claims-Set
[UCCS.Draft].
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
It has no protection of its own so protections must be provided by
the protocol carrying it. These are extensively discussed in
[UCCS.Draft]. All the security discussion and security
considerations in [UCCS.Draft] apply to UJCS.
(Note: The EAT author is open to this definition being moved into the
UCCS draft, perhaps along with the related CDDL. It is place here
for now so that the current UCCS draft plus this document are
complete. UJCS is needed for the same use cases that a UCCS is
needed. Further, JSON will commonly be used to convey Attestation
Results since JSON is common for server to server communications.
Server to server communications will often have established security
(e.g., TLS) therefore the signing and encryption from JWS and JWE are
unnecssary and burdensome).
5. Detached EAT Bundles
A detached EAT bundle is a structure to convey a fully-formed and
signed token plus detached claims set that relate to that token. It
is a top-level EAT message like a CWT, JWT, UCCS and UJCS. It can be
used any place that CWT, JWT, UCCS or UJCS messages are used. It may
also be sent as a submodule.
A DEB has two main parts.
The first part is a full top-level token. This top-level token must
have at least one submodule that is a detached digest. This top-
level token may be either CBOR or JSON-encoded. It may be a CWT,
JWT, UCCS or UJCS, but not a DEB. The same mechanism for
distinguishing the type for nested token submodules is used here.
The second part is a map/object containing the detached Claims-Sets
corresponding to the detached digests in the full token. When the
DEB is CBOR-encoded, each Claims-Set is wrapped in a byte string.
When the DEB is JSON-encoded, each Claims-Set is base64url encoded.
All the detached Claims-Sets MUST be encoded in the same format as
the DEB. No mixing of encoding formats is allowed for the Claims-
Sets in a DEB.
For CBOR-encoded DEBs, tag TBD602 can be used to identify it. The
normal rules apply for use or non-use of a tag. When it is sent as a
submodule, it is always sent as a tag to distinguish it from the
other types of nested tokens.
The digests of the detached claims sets are associated with detached
claims-sets by label/name. It is up to the constructor of the
detached EAT bundle to ensure the names uniquely identify the
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
detached claims sets. Since the names are used only in the detached
EAT bundle, they can be very short, perhaps one byte.

6. Endorsements and Verification Keys
The Verifier must possess the correct key when it performs the
cryptographic part of an EAT verification (e.g., verifying the COSE/
JOSE signature). This section describes several ways to identify the
verification key. There is not one standard method.
The verification key itself may be a public key, a symmetric key or
something complicated in the case of a scheme like Direct Anonymous
Attestation (DAA).
RATS Architecture [RATS.Architecture] describes what is called an
Endorsement. This is an input to the Verifier that is usually the
basis of the trust placed in an EAT and the Attester that generated
it. It may contain the public key for verification of the signature
on the EAT. It may contain Reference Values to which EAT claims are
compared as part of the verification process. It may contain implied
claims, those that are passed on to the Relying Party in Attestation
Results.
There is not yet any standard format(s) for an Endorsement. One
format that may be used for an Endorsement is an X.509 certificate.
Endorsement data like Reference Values and implied claims can be
carried in X.509 v3 extensions. In this use, the public key in the
X.509 certificate becomes the verification key, so identification of
the Endorsement is also identification of the verification key.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
The verification key identification and establishment of trust in the
EAT and the attester may also be by some other means than an
Endorsement.
For the components (Attester, Verifier, Relying Party,...) of a
particular end-end attestation system to reliably interoperate, its
definition should specify how the verification key is identified.
Usually, this will be in the profile document for a particular
attestation system.
6.1. Identification Methods
Following is a list of possible methods of key identification. A
specific attestation system may employ any one of these or one not
listed here.
The following assumes Endorsements are X.509 certificates or
equivalent and thus does not mention or define any identifier for
Endorsements in other formats. If such an Endorsement format is
created, new identifiers for them will also need to be created.
6.1.1. COSE/JWS Key ID
The COSE standard header parameter for Key ID (kid) may be used. See
[RFC8152] and [RFC7515]
COSE leaves the semantics of the key ID open-ended. It could be a
record locator in a database, a hash of a public key, an input to a
KDF, an authority key identifier (AKI) for an X.509 certificate or
other. The profile document should specify what the key ID's
semantics are.
6.1.2. JWS and COSE X.509 Header Parameters
COSE X.509 [COSE.X509.Draft] and JSON Web Siganture [RFC7515] define
several header parameters (x5t, x5u,...) for referencing or carrying
X.509 certificates any of which may be used.
The X.509 certificate may be an Endorsement and thus carrying
additional input to the Verifier. It may be just an X.509
certificate, not an Endorsement. The same header parameters are used
in both cases. It is up to the attestation system design and the
Verifier to determine which.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
6.1.3. CBOR Certificate COSE Header Parameters
Compressed X.509 and CBOR Native certificates are defined by CBOR
Certificates [CBOR.Cert.Draft]. These are semantically compatible
with X.509 and therefore can be used as an equivalent to X.509 as
described above.
These are identified by their own header parameters (c5t, c5u,...).
6.1.4. Claim-Based Key Identification
For some attestation systems, a claim may be re-used as a key
identifier. For example, the UEID uniquely identifies the device and
therefore can work well as a key identifier or Endorsement
identifier.
This has the advantage that key identification requires no additional
bytes in the EAT and makes the EAT smaller.
This has the disadvantage that the unverified EAT must be
substantially decoded to obtain the identifier since the identifier
is in the COSE/JOSE payload, not in the headers.
6.2. Other Considerations
In all cases there must be some way that the verification key is
itself verified or determined to be trustworthy. The key
identification itself is never enough. This will always be by some
out-of-band mechanism that is not described here. For example, the
Verifier may be configured with a root certificate or a master key by
the Verifier system administrator.
Often an X.509 certificate or an Endorsement carries more than just
the verification key. For example, an X.509 certificate might have
key usage constraints and an Endorsement might have Reference Values.
When this is the case, the key identifier must be either a protected
header or in the payload such that it is cryptographically bound to
the EAT. This is in line with the requirements in section 6 on Key
Identification in JSON Web Signature [RFC7515].
7. Profiles
This EAT specification does not gaurantee that implementations of it
will interoperate. The variability in this specification is
necessary to accommodate the widely varying use cases. An EAT
profile narrows the specification for a specific use case. An ideal
EAT profile will guarantee interoperability.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
The profile can be named in the token using the profile claim
described in Section 3.18.
A profile can apply to Attestation Evidence or to Attestation Results
or both.
7.1. Format of a Profile Document
A profile document doesn't have to be in any particular format. It
may be simple text, something more formal or a combination.
In some cases CDDL may be created that replaces CDDL in this or other
document to express some profile requirements. For example, to
require the altitude data item in the location claim, CDDL can be
written that replicates the location claim with the altitude no
longer optional.
7.2. List of Profile Issues
The following is a list of EAT, CWT, UCCS, JWS, UJCS, COSE, JOSE and
CBOR options that a profile should address.
7.2.1. Use of JSON, CBOR or both
The profile should indicate whether the token format should be CBOR,
JSON, both or even some other encoding. If some other encoding, a
specification for how the CDDL described here is serialized in that
encoding is necessary.
This should be addressed for the top-level token and for any nested
tokens. For example, a profile might require all nested tokens to be
of the same encoding of the top level token.
7.2.2. CBOR Map and Array Encoding
The profile should indicate whether definite-length arrays/maps,
indefinite-length arrays/maps or both are allowed. A good default is
to allow only definite-length arrays/maps.
An alternate is to allow both definite and indefinite-length arrays/
maps. The decoder should accept either. Encoders that need to fit
on very small hardware or be actually implement in hardware can use
indefinite-length encoding.
This applies to individual EAT claims, CWT and COSE parts of the
implementation.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 43]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
7.2.3. CBOR String Encoding
The profile should indicate whether definite-length strings,
indefinite-length strings or both are allowed. A good default is to
allow only definite-length strings. As with map and array encoding,
allowing indefinite-length strings can be beneficial for some smaller
implementations.
7.2.4. CBOR Preferred Serialization
The profile should indicate whether encoders must use preferred
serialization. The profile should indicate whether decoders must
accept non-preferred serialization.
7.2.5. COSE/JOSE Protection
COSE and JOSE have several options for signed, MACed and encrypted
messages. EAT/CWT has the option to have no protection using UCCS
and JOSE has a NULL protection option. It is possible to implement
no protection, sign only, MAC only, sign then encrypt and so on. All
combinations allowed by COSE, JOSE, JWT, CWT, UCCS and UJCS are
allowed by EAT.
The profile should list the protections that must be supported by all
decoders implementing the profile. The encoders them must implement
a subset of what is listed for the decoders, perhaps only one.
Implementations may choose to sign or MAC before encryption so that
the implementation layer doing the signing or MACing can be the
smallest. It is often easier to make smaller implementations more
secure, perhaps even implementing in solely in hardware. The key
material for a signature or MAC is a private key, while for
encryption it is likely to be a public key. The key for encryption
requires less protection.
7.2.6. COSE/JOSE Algorithms
The profile document should list the COSE algorithms that a Verifier
must implement. The Attester will select one of them. Since there
is no negotiation, the Verifier should implement all algorithms
listed in the profile. If detached submodules are used, the COSE
algorithms allowed for their digests should also be in the profile.
7.2.7. DEB Support
A Detatched EAT Bundle Section 5 is a special case message that will
not often be used. A profile may prohibit its use.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 44]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
7.2.8. Verification Key Identification
Section Section 6 describes a number of methods for identifying a
verification key. The profile document should specify one of these
or one that is not described. The ones described in this document
are only roughly described. The profile document should go into the
full detail.
7.2.9. Endorsement Identification
Similar to, or perhaps the same as Verification Key Identification,
the profile may wish to specify how Endorsements are to be
identified. However note that Endorsement Identification is
optional, where as key identification is not.
7.2.10. Freshness
Just about every use case will require some means of knowing the EAT
is recent enough and not a replay of an old token. The profile
should describe how freshness is achieved. The section on Freshness
in [RATS.Architecture] describes some of the possible solutions to
achieve this.
7.2.11. Required Claims
The profile can list claims whose absence results in Verification
failure.
7.2.12. Prohibited Claims
The profile can list claims whose presence results in Verification
failure.
7.2.13. Additional Claims
The profile may describe entirely new claims. These claims can be
required or optional.
7.2.14. Refined Claim Definition
The profile may lock down optional aspects of individual claims. For
example, it may require altitude in the location claim, or it may
require that HW Versions always be described using EAN-13.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 45]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
7.2.15. CBOR Tags
The profile should specify whether the token should be a CWT Tag or
not. Similarly, the profile should specify whether the token should
be a UCCS tag or not.
When COSE protection is used, the profile should specify whether COSE
tags are used or not. Note that RFC 8392 requires COSE tags be used
in a CWT tag.
Often a tag is unncessary because the surrounding or carrying
protocol identifies the object as an EAT.
7.2.16. Manifests and Software Evidence Claims
The profile should specify which formats are allowed for the
manifests and software evidence claims. The profile may also go on
to say which parts and options of these formats are used, allowed and
prohibited.
8. Encoding and Collected CDDL
An EAT is fundamentally defined using CDDL. This document specifies
how to encode the CDDL in CBOR or JSON. Since CBOR can express some
things that JSON can't (e.g., tags) or that are expressed differently
(e.g., labels) there is some CDDL that is specific to the encoding
format.
8.1. Claims-Set and CDDL for CWT and JWT
CDDL was not used to define CWT or JWT. It was not available at the
time.
This document defines CDDL for both CWT and JWT as well as UCCS.
This document does not change the encoding or semantics of anything
in a CWT or JWT.
A Claims-Set is the central data structure for EAT, CWT, JWT and
UCCS. It holds all the claims and is the structure that is secured
by signing or other means. It is not possible to define EAT, CWT,
JWT or UCCS in CDDL without it. The CDDL definition of Claims-Set
here is applicable to EAT, CWT, JWT and UCCS.
This document specifies how to encode a Claims-Set in CBOR or JSON.
With the exception of nested tokens and some other externally defined
structures (e.g., SWIDs) an entire Claims-Set must be in encoded in
either CBOR or JSON, never a mixture.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 46]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
CDDL for the seven claims defined by [RFC8392] and [RFC7519] is
included here.
8.2. Encoding Data Types
This makes use of the types defined in [RFC8610] Appendix D, Standard
Prelude.
8.2.1. Common Data Types
time-int is identical to the epoch-based time, but disallows
floating-point representation.
Unless expliclity indicated, URIs are not the URI tag defined in
[RFC8949]. They are just text strings that contain a URI.
string-or-uri = tstr
time-int = #6.1(int)
8.2.2. JSON Interoperability
JSON should be encoded per [RFC8610] Appendix E. In addition, the
following CDDL types are encoded in JSON as follows:
o bstr - must be base64url encoded
o time - must be encoded as NumericDate as described section 2 of
[RFC7519].
o string-or-uri - must be encoded as StringOrURI as described
section 2 of [RFC7519].
o uri - must be a URI [RFC3986].
o oid - encoded as a string using the well established dotted-
decimal notation (e.g., the text "1.2.250.1").
8.2.3. Labels
Map labels, including Claims-Keys and Claim-Names, and enumerated-
type values are always integers when encoding in CBOR and strings
when encoding in JSON. There is an exception to this for naming
submodules and detached claims sets in a DEB. These are strings in
CBOR.
The CDDL in most cases gives both the integer label and the string
label as it is not convenient to have conditional CDDL for such.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 47]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
8.3. CBOR Interoperability
CBOR allows data items to be serialized in more than one form. If
the sender uses a form that the receiver can't decode, there will not
be interoperability.
This specification gives no blanket requirements to narrow CBOR
serialization for all uses of EAT. This allows individual uses to
tailor serialization to the environment. It also may result in EAT
implementations that don't interoperate.
One way to guarantee interoperability is to clearly specify CBOR
serialization in a profile document. See Section 7 for a list of
serialization issues that should be addressed.
EAT will be commonly used where the device generating the attestation
is constrained and the receiver/Verifier of the attestation is a
capacious server. Following is a set of serialization requirements
that work well for that use case and are guaranteed to interoperate.
Use of this serialization is recommended where possible, but not
required. An EAT profile may just reference the following section
rather than spell out serialization details.
8.3.1. EAT Constrained Device Serialization
o Preferred serialization described in section 4.1 of [RFC8949] is
not required. The EAT decoder must accept all forms of number
serialization. The EAT encoder may use any form it wishes.
o The EAT decoder must accept indefinite length arrays and maps as
described in section 3.2.2 of [RFC8949]. The EAT encoder may use
indefinite length arrays and maps if it wishes.
o The EAT decoder must accept indefinite length strings as described
in section 3.2.3 of [RFC8949]. The EAT encoder may use indefinite
length strings if it wishes.
o Sorting of maps by key is not required. The EAT decoder must not
rely on sorting.
o Deterministic encoding described in Section 4.2 of [RFC8949] is
not required.
o Basic validity described in section 5.3.1 of [RFC8949] must be
followed. The EAT encoder must not send duplicate map keys/labels
or invalid UTF-8 strings.

9.1. Reuse of CBOR and JSON Web Token (CWT and JWT) Claims Registries
Claims defined for EAT are compatible with those of CWT and JWT so
the CWT and JWT Claims Registries, [IANA.CWT.Claims] and
[IANA.JWT.Claims], are re used. No new IANA registry is created.
All EAT claims defined in this document are placed in both
registries. All new EAT claims defined subsequently should be placed
in both registries.
9.2. Claim Characteristics
The following is design guidance for creating new EAT claims,
particularly those to be registered with IANA.
Much of this guidance is generic and could also be considered when
designing new CWT or JWT claims.
9.2.1. Interoperability and Relying Party Orientation
It is a broad goal that EATs can be processed by Relying Parties in a
general way regardless of the type, manufacturer or technology of the
device from which they originate. It is a goal that there be
general-purpose verification implementations that can verify tokens
for large numbers of use cases with special cases and configurations
for different device types. This is a goal of interoperability of
the semantics of claims themselves, not just of the signing, encoding
and serialization formats.
This is a lofty goal and difficult to achieve broadly requiring
careful definition of claims in a technology neutral way. Sometimes
it will be difficult to design a claim that can represent the
semantics of data from very different device types. However, the
goal remains even when difficult.
9.2.2. Operating System and Technology Neutral
Claims should be defined such that they are not specific to an
operating system. They should be applicable to multiple large high-
level operating systems from different vendors. They should also be
applicable to multiple small embedded operating systems from multiple
vendors and everything in between.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 59]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
Claims should not be defined such that they are specific to a SW
environment or programming language.
Claims should not be defined such that they are specific to a chip or
particular hardware. For example, they should not just be the
contents of some HW status register as it is unlikely that the same
HW status register with the same bits exists on a chip of a different
manufacturer.
The boot and debug state claims in this document are an example of a
claim that has been defined in this neutral way.
9.2.3. Security Level Neutral
Many use cases will have EATs generated by some of the most secure
hardware and software that exists. Secure Elements and smart cards
are examples of this. However, EAT is intended for use in low-
security use cases the same as high-security use case. For example,
an app on a mobile device may generate EATs on its own.
Claims should be defined and registered on the basis of whether they
are useful and interoperable, not based on security level. In
particular, there should be no exclusion of claims because they are
just used only in low-security environments.
9.2.4. Reuse of Extant Data Formats
Where possible, claims should use already standardized data items,
identifiers and formats. This takes advantage of the expertise put
into creating those formats and improves interoperability.
Often extant claims will not be defined in an encoding or
serialization format used by EAT. It is preferred to define a CBOR
and JSON format for them so that EAT implementations do not require a
plethora of encoders and decoders for serialization formats.
In some cases, it may be better to use the encoding and serialization
as is. For example, signed X.509 certificates and CRLs can be
carried as-is in a byte string. This retains interoperability with
the extensive infrastructure for creating and processing X.509
certificates and CRLs.
9.2.5. Proprietary Claims
EAT allows the definition and use of proprietary claims.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 60]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
For example, a device manufacturer may generate a token with
proprietary claims intended only for verification by a service
offered by that device manufacturer. This is a supported use case.
In many cases proprietary claims will be the easiest and most obvious
way to proceed, however for better interoperability, use of general
standardized claims is preferred.
9.3. Claims Registered by This Document
This specification adds the following values to the "JSON Web Token
Claims" registry established by [RFC7519] and the "CBOR Web Token
Claims Registry" established by [RFC8392]. Each entry below is an
addition to both registries (except for the nonce claim which is
already registered for JWT, but not registered for CWT).
The "Claim Description", "Change Controller" and "Specification
Documents" are common and equivalent for the JWT and CWT registries.
The "Claim Key" and "Claim Value Types(s)" are for the CWT registry
only. The "Claim Name" is as defined for the CWT registry, not the
JWT registry. The "JWT Claim Name" is equivalent to the "Claim Name"
in the JWT registry.
9.3.1. Claims for Early Assignment
RFC Editor: in the final publication this section should be combined
with the following section as it will no longer be necessary to
distinguish claims with early assignment. Also, the following
paragraph should be removed.
The claims in this section have been (requested for / given) early
assignment according to [RFC7120]. They have been assigned values
and registered before final publication of this document. While
their semantics is not expected to change in final publication, it is
possible that they will. The JWT Claim Names and CWT Claim Keys are
not expected to change.

10. Privacy Considerations
Certain EAT claims can be used to track the owner of an entity and
therefore, implementations should consider providing privacy-
preserving options dependent on the intended usage of the EAT.
Examples would include suppression of location claims for EAT's
provided to unauthenticated consumers.
10.1. UEID and SUEID Privacy Considerations
A UEID is usually not privacy-preserving. Any set of Relying Parties
that receives tokens that happen to be from a single device will be
able to know the tokens are all from the same device and be able to
track the device. Thus, in many usage situations UEID violates
governmental privacy regulation. In other usage situations a UEID
will not be allowed for certain products like browsers that give
privacy for the end user. It will often be the case that tokens will
not have a UEID for these reasons.
An SUEID is also usually not privacy-preserving. In some cases it
may have fewer privacy issues than a UEID depending on when and how
and when it is generated.
There are several strategies that can be used to still be able to put
UEIDs and SUEIDs in tokens:
o The device obtains explicit permission from the user of the device
to use the UEID/SUEID. This may be through a prompt. It may also
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 65]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
be through a license agreement. For example, agreements for some
online banking and brokerage services might already cover use of a
UEID/SUEID.
o The UEID/SUEID is used only in a particular context or particular
use case. It is used only by one Relying Party.
o The device authenticates the Relying Party and generates a derived
UEID/SUEID just for that particular Relying Party. For example,
the Relying Party could prove their identity cryptographically to
the device, then the device generates a UEID just for that Relying
Party by hashing a proofed Relying Party ID with the main device
UEID/SUEID.
Note that some of these privacy preservation strategies result in
multiple UEIDs and SUEIDs per device. Each UEID/SUEID is used in a
different context, use case or system on the device. However, from
the view of the Relying Party, there is just one UEID and it is still
globally universal across manufacturers.
10.2. Location Privacy Considerations
Geographic location is most always considered personally identifiable
information. Implementers should consider laws and regulations
governing the transmission of location data from end user devices to
servers and services. Implementers should consider using location
management facilities offered by the operating system on the device
generating the attestation. For example, many mobile phones prompt
the user for permission when before sending location data.
11. Security Considerations
The security considerations provided in Section 8 of [RFC8392] and
Section 11 of [RFC7519] apply to EAT in its CWT and JWT form,
respectively. In addition, implementors should consider the
following.
11.1. Key Provisioning
Private key material can be used to sign and/or encrypt the EAT, or
can be used to derive the keys used for signing and/or encryption.
In some instances, the manufacturer of the entity may create the key
material separately and provision the key material in the entity
itself. The manfuacturer of any entity that is capable of producing
an EAT should take care to ensure that any private key material be
suitably protected prior to provisioning the key material in the
entity itself. This can require creation of key material in an
enclave (see [RFC4949] for definition of "enclave"), secure
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 66]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
transmission of the key material from the enclave to the entity using
an appropriate protocol, and persistence of the private key material
in some form of secure storage to which (preferably) only the entity
has access.
11.1.1. Transmission of Key Material
Regarding transmission of key material from the enclave to the
entity, the key material may pass through one or more intermediaries.
Therefore some form of protection ("key wrapping") may be necessary.
The transmission itself may be performed electronically, but can also
be done by human courier. In the latter case, there should be
minimal to no exposure of the key material to the human (e.g.
encrypted portable memory). Moreover, the human should transport the
key material directly from the secure enclave where it was created to
a destination secure enclave where it can be provisioned.
11.2. Transport Security
As stated in Section 8 of [RFC8392], "The security of the CWT relies
upon on the protections offered by COSE". Similar considerations
apply to EAT when sent as a CWT. However, EAT introduces the concept
of a nonce to protect against replay. Since an EAT may be created by
an entity that may not support the same type of transport security as
the consumer of the EAT, intermediaries may be required to bridge
communications between the entity and consumer. As a result, it is
RECOMMENDED that both the consumer create a nonce, and the entity
leverage the nonce along with COSE mechanisms for encryption and/or
signing to create the EAT.
Similar considerations apply to the use of EAT as a JWT. Although
the security of a JWT leverages the JSON Web Encryption (JWE) and
JSON Web Signature (JWS) specifications, it is still recommended to
make use of the EAT nonce.
11.3. Multiple EAT Consumers
In many cases, more than one EAT consumer may be required to fully
verify the entity attestation. Examples include individual consumers
for nested EATs, or consumers for individual claims with an EAT.
When multiple consumers are required for verification of an EAT, it
is important to minimize information exposure to each consumer. In
addition, the communication between multiple consumers should be
secure.
For instance, consider the example of an encrypted and signed EAT
with multiple claims. A consumer may receive the EAT (denoted as the
"receiving consumer"), decrypt its payload, verify its signature, but
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 67]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
then pass specific subsets of claims to other consumers for
evaluation ("downstream consumers"). Since any COSE encryption will
be removed by the receiving consumer, the communication of claim
subsets to any downstream consumer should leverage a secure protocol
(e.g.one that uses transport-layer security, i.e. TLS),
However, assume the EAT of the previous example is hierarchical and
each claim subset for a downstream consumer is created in the form of
a nested EAT. Then transport security between the receiving and
downstream consumers is not strictly required. Nevertheless,
downstream consumers of a nested EAT should provide a nonce unique to
the EAT they are consuming.

A.3. Detached EAT Bundle
In this DEB main token is produced by a HW attestation block. The
detached Claims-Set is produced by a TEE and is largely identical to
the Simple TEE examples above. The TEE digests its Claims-Set and
feeds that digest to the HW block.
In a better example the attestation produced by the HW block would be
a CWT and thus signed and secured by the HW block. Since the
signature covers the digest from the TEE that Claims-Set is also
secured.
The DEB itself can be assembled by untrusted SW.

This is a UJCS format token that might be the output of a Verifier
that evaluated the IoT Attestation example immediately above.
This particular Verifier knows enough about the TEE Attester to be
able to pass claims like security level directly through to the
Relying Party. The Verifier also knows the Reference Values for the
measured SW components and is able to check them. It informs the
Relying Party that they were correct in the swresults claim.
"Trustus Verifications" is the name of the services that verifies the
SW component measurements.
This UJCS is identical to JSON-encoded Claims-Set that could be a JWT

Appendix B. UEID Design Rationale
B.1. Collision Probability
This calculation is to determine the probability of a collision of
UEIDs given the total possible entity population and the number of
entities in a particular entity management database.
Three different sized databases are considered. The number of
devices per person roughly models non-personal devices such as
traffic lights, devices in stores they shop in, facilities they work
in and so on, even considering individual light bulbs. A device may
have individually attested subsystems, for example parts of a car or
a mobile phone. It is assumed that the largest database will have at
most 10% of the world's population of devices. Note that databases
that handle more than a trillion records exist today.
The trillion-record database size models an easy-to-imagine reality
over the next decades. The quadrillion-record database is roughly at
the limit of what is imaginable and should probably be accommodated.
The 100 quadrillion datadbase is highly speculative perhaps involving
nanorobots for every person, livestock animal and domesticated bird.
It is included to round out the analysis.
Note that the items counted here certainly do not have IP address and
are not individually connected to the network. They may be connected
to internal buses, via serial links, Bluetooth and so on. This is
not the same problem as sizing IP addresses.
+---------+------------+--------------+------------+----------------+
| People | Devices / | Subsystems / | Database | Database Size |
| | Person | Device | Portion | |
+---------+------------+--------------+------------+----------------+
| 10 | 100 | 10 | 10% | trillion |
| billion | | | | (10^12) |
| 10 | 100,000 | 10 | 10% | quadrillion |
| billion | | | | (10^15) |
| 100 | 1,000,000 | 10 | 10% | 100 |
| billion | | | | quadrillion |
| | | | | (10^17) |
+---------+------------+--------------+------------+----------------+
This is conceptually similar to the Birthday Problem where m is the
number of possible birthdays, always 365, and k is the number of
people. It is also conceptually similar to the Birthday Attack where
collisions of the output of hash functions are considered.
The proper formula for the collision calculation is
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 82]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
p = 1 - e^{-k^2/(2n)}
p Collision Probability
n Total possible population
k Actual population
However, for the very large values involved here, this formula
requires floating point precision higher than commonly available in
calculators and SW so this simple approximation is used. See
[BirthdayAttack].
p = k^2 / 2n
For this calculation:
p Collision Probability
n Total population based on number of bits in UEID
k Population in a database
+----------------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| Database Size | 128-bit UEID | 192-bit UEID | 256-bit UEID |
+----------------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| trillion (10^12) | 2 * 10^-15 | 8 * 10^-35 | 5 * 10^-55 |
| quadrillion (10^15) | 2 * 10^-09 | 8 * 10^-29 | 5 * 10^-49 |
| 100 quadrillion | 2 * 10^-05 | 8 * 10^-25 | 5 * 10^-45 |
| (10^17) | | | |
+----------------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+
Next, to calculate the probability of a collision occurring in one
year's operation of a database, it is assumed that the database size
is in a steady state and that 10% of the database changes per year.
For example, a trillion record database would have 100 billion states
per year. Each of those states has the above calculated probability
of a collision.
This assumption is a worst-case since it assumes that each state of
the database is completely independent from the previous state. In
reality this is unlikely as state changes will be the addition or
deletion of a few records.
The following tables gives the time interval until there is a
probability of a collision based on there being one tenth the number
of states per year as the number of records in the database.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 83]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
t = 1 / ((k / 10) * p)
t Time until a collision
p Collision probability for UEID size
k Database size
+---------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+
| Database Size | 128-bit UEID | 192-bit UEID | 256-bit UEID |
+---------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+
| trillion (10^12) | 60,000 years | 10^24 years | 10^44 years |
| quadrillion (10^15) | 8 seconds | 10^14 years | 10^34 years |
| 100 quadrillion | 8 | 10^11 years | 10^31 years |
| (10^17) | microseconds | | |
+---------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+
Clearly, 128 bits is enough for the near future thus the requirement
that UEIDs be a minimum of 128 bits.
There is no requirement for 256 bits today as quadrillion-record
databases are not expected in the near future and because this time-
to-collision calculation is a very worst case. A future update of
the standard may increase the requirement to 256 bits, so there is a
requirement that implementations be able to receive 256-bit UEIDs.
B.2. No Use of UUID
A UEID is not a UUID [RFC4122] by conscious choice for the following
reasons.
UUIDs are limited to 128 bits which may not be enough for some future
use cases.
Today, cryptographic-quality random numbers are available from common
CPUs and hardware. This hardware was introduced between 2010 and
2015. Operating systems and cryptographic libraries give access to
this hardware. Consequently, there is little need for
implementations to construct such random values from multiple sources
on their own.
Version 4 UUIDs do allow for use of such cryptographic-quality random
numbers, but do so by mapping into the overall UUID structure of time
and clock values. This structure is of no value here yet adds
complexity. It also slightly reduces the number of actual bits with
entropy.
UUIDs seem to have been designed for scenarios where the implementor
does not have full control over the environment and uniqueness has to
be constructed from identifiers at hand. UEID takes the view that
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 84]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
hardware, software and/or manufacturing process directly implement
UEID in a simple and direct way. It takes the view that
cryptographic quality random number generators are readily available
as they are implemented in commonly used CPU hardware.
Appendix C. EAT Relation to IEEE.802.1AR Secure Device Identity (DevID)
This section describes several distinct ways in which an IEEE IDevID
[IEEE.802.1AR] relates to EAT, particularly to UEID and SUEID.
[IEEE.802.1AR] orients around the definition of an implementation
called a "DevID Module." It describes how IDevIDs and LDevIDs are
stored, protected and accessed using a DevID Module. A particular
level of defense against attack that should be achieved to be a DevID
is defined. The intent is that IDevIDs and LDevIDs are used with an
open set of network protocols for authentication and such. In these
protocols the DevID secret is used to sign a nonce or similar to
proof the association of the DevID certificates with the device.
By contrast, EAT defines network protocol for proving trustworthiness
to a Relying Party, the very thing that is not defined in
[IEEE.802.1AR]. Nor does not give details on how keys, data and such
are stored protected and accessed. EAT is intended to work with a
variety of different on-device implementations ranging from minimal
protection of assets to the highest levels of asset protection. It
does not define any particular level of defense against attack,
instead providing a set of security considerations.
EAT and DevID can be viewed as complimentary when used together or as
competing to provide a device identity service.
C.1. DevID Used With EAT
As just described, EAT defines a network protocol and [IEEE.802.1AR]
doesn't. Vice versa, EAT doesn't define a an device implementation
and DevID does.
Hence, EAT can be the network protocol that a DevID is used with.
The DevID secret becomes the attestation key used to sign EATs. The
DevID and its certificate chain become the Endorsement sent to the
Verifier.
In this case the EAT and the DevID are likely to both provide a
device identifier (e.g. a serial number). In the EAT it is the UEID
(or SUEID). In the DevID (used as an endorsement), it is a device
serial number included in the subject field of the DevID certificate.
It is probably a good idea in this use for them to be the same serial
number or for the UEID to be a hash of the DevID serial number.
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 85]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
C.2. How EAT Provides an Equivalent Secure Device Identity
The UEID, SUEID and other claims like OEM ID are equivalent to the
secure device identity put into the subject field of a DevID
certificate. These EAT claims can represent all the same fields and
values that can be put in a DevID certificate subject. EAT
explicitly and carefully defines a variety of useful claims.
EAT secures the conveyance of these claims by having them signed on
the device by the attestation key when the EAT is generated. EAT
also signs the nonce that gives freshness at this time. Since these
claims are signed for every EAT generated, they can include things
that vary over time like GPS location.
DevID secures the device identity fields by having them signed by the
manufacturer of the device sign them into a certificate. That
certificate is created once during the manufacturing of the device
and never changes so the fields cannot change.
So in one case the signing of the identity happens on the device and
the other in a manufacturing facility, but in both cases the signing
of the nonce that proves the binding to the actual device happens on
the device.
While EAT does not specify how the signing keys, signature process
and storage of the identity values should be secured against attack,
an EAT implementation may have equal defenses against attack. One
reason EAT uses CBOR is because it is simple enough that a basic EAT
implementation can be constructed entirely in hardware. This allows
EAT to be implemented with the strongest defenses possible.
C.3. An X.509 Format EAT
It is possible to define a way to encode EAT claims in an X.509
certificate. For example, the EAT claims might be mapped to X.509 v3
extensions. It is even possible to stuff a whole CBOR-encoded
unsigned EAT token into a X.509 certificate.
If that X.509 certificate is an IDevID or LDevID, this becomes
another way to use EAT and DevID together.
Note that the DevID must still be used with an authentication
protocol that has a nonce or equivalent. The EAT here is not being
used as the protocol to interact with the rely party.

Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
C.4. Device Identifier Permanence
In terms of permanence, an IDevID is similar to a UEID in that they
do not change over the life of the device. They cease to exist only
when the device is destroyed.
An SUEID is similar to an LDevID. They change on device life-cycle
events.
[IEEE.802.1AR] describes much of this permanence as resistant to
attacks that seek to change the ID. IDevID permanence can be
described this way because [IEEE.802.1AR] is oriented around the
definition of an implementation with a particular level of defense
against attack.
EAT is not defined around a particular implementation and must work
on a range of devices that have a range of defenses against attack.
EAT thus can't be defined permanence in terms of defense against
attack. EAT's definition of permanence is in terms of operations and
device lifecycle.
Appendix D. Changes from Previous Drafts
The following is a list of known changes from the previous drafts.

extensible
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 88]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021

o Added profiles claim and section
D.9. From draft-ietf-rats-eat-07
o Filled in IANA and other sections for possible preassignment of
Claim Keys for well understood claims
D.10. From draft-ietf-rats-eat-08
o Change profile claim to be either a URL or an OID rather than a
test string
D.11. From draft-ietf-rats-eat-09
o Add SUEIDs
o Add appendix comparing IDevID to EAT
o Added section on use for Evidence and Attestation Results
o Fill in the key ID and endorsements identificaiton section
o Remove origination claim as it is replaced by key IDs and
endorsements
o Added manifests and software evidence claims
o Add string labels non-claim labels for use with JSON (e.g. labels
for members of location claim)
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 89]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
o EAN-13 HW versions are no longer a separate claim. Now they are
folded in as a CoSWID version scheme.
D.12. From draft-ietf-rats-eat-10
o Hardware version is made into an array of two rather than two
claims
o Corrections and wording improvements for security levels claim
o Add swresults claim
o Add dloas claim - Digitial Letter of Approvals, a list of
certifications
o CDDL for each claim no longer in a separate sub section
o Consistent use of terminology from RATS architecture document
o Consistent use of terminology from CWT and JWT documents
o Remove operating model and procedures; refer to CWT, JWT and RATS
architecture instead
o Some reorganization of Section 1
o Moved a few references, including RATS Architecture, to
informative.
o Add detached submodule digests and detached eat bundles (DEBs)
o New simpler and more universal scheme for identifying the encoding
of a nested token

o Define UJCS (unsigned JWTs)
o Add CDDL for a general Claims-Set used by UCCS, UJCS, CWT, JWT and
EAT
o Top level CDDL for CWT correctly refers to COSE
o OEM ID is specifically for HW, not for SW
Lundblade, et al. Expires April 26, 2022 [Page 90]
Internet-Draft EAT October 2021
o HW OEM ID can now be a PEN
o HW OEM ID can now be a 128-bit random number
o Expand the examples section
o Add software and version claims as easy / JSON alternative to
CoSWID
