Arm's Platform Security Architecture (PSA) Attestation Token
Abstract
The Platform Security Architecture (PSA) is a family of hardware and firmware security specifications, as well as open-source reference implementations, to help device makers and chip manufacturers build best-practice security into products. Devices that are PSA compliant are able to produce attestation tokens as described in this memo, which are the basis for a number of different protocols, including secure provisioning and network access control. This document specifies the PSA attestation token structure and semantics.¶
The PSA attestation token is a profiled Entity Attestation Token (EAT).¶
This specification describes what claims are used in an attestation token generated by PSA compliant systems, how these claims get serialized to the wire, and how they are cryptographically protected.¶

1. Introduction
Trusted execution environments are now present in many devices, which provide a safe environment to place security sensitive code such as cryptography, secure boot, secure storage, and other essential security functions. These security functions are typically exposed through a narrow and well-defined interface, and can be used by operating system libraries and applications. Various APIs have been developed by Arm as part of the Platform Security Architecture [PSA] framework. This document focuses on the output provided by PSA's Initial Attestation API. Since the tokens are also consumed by services outside the device, there is an actual need to ensure interoperability. Interoperability needs are addressed here by describing the exact syntax and semantics of the attestation claims, and defining the way these claims are encoded and cryptographically protected.¶
Further details on concepts expressed below can be found in the PSA Security Model documentation [PSA-SM].¶
2. Conventions and Definitions
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.¶
2.1. Glossary
- RoT:
-
Root of Trust, the minimal set of software, hardware and data that has to be implicitly trusted in the platform - there is no software or hardware at a deeper level that can verify that the Root of Trust is authentic and unmodified. An example of RoT is an initial bootloader in ROM, which contains cryptographic functions and credentials, running on a specific hardware platform.¶
- SPE:
-
Secure Processing Environment, a platform's processing environment for software that provides confidentiality and integrity for its runtime state, from software and hardware, outside of the SPE. Contains trusted code and trusted hardware. (Equivalent to Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), or "secure world".)¶
- NSPE:
-
Non Secure Processing Environment, the security domain outside of the SPE, the Application domain, typically containing the application firmware, operating systems, and general hardware. (Equivalent to Rich Execution Environment (REE), or "normal world".)¶
3. PSA Attester Model
Figure 1 outlines the structure of the PSA Attester according to the conceptual model described in Section 3.1 of [RFC9334].¶
The PSA Attester is a relatively straightforward embodiment of the RATS Attester with exactly one Attesting Environment and one Target Environment.¶
The Attesting Environment is responsible for collecting the information to be represented in PSA claims and to assemble them into Evidence. It is made of two cooperating components:¶
- The Main Bootloader (executing at boot-time) measures the loaded software components, collects the relevant PSA RoT parameters, and stores the recorded information in secure memory (Main Boot State) from where the Initial Attestation Service will, when asked for a platform attestation report, retrieve them.¶
- The Initial Attestation Service (executing at run-time in SPE) answers requests coming from NSPE via the PSA attestation API [PSA-API], collects and formats the claims from Main Boot State, and uses the Initial Attestation Key (IAK) to sign the attestation report.¶
The Target Environment can be broken down into four macro "objects", some of which may or may not be present depending on the device architecture:¶
- (A subset of) the PSA RoT parameters, including Instance and Implementation IDs.¶
- The updateable PSA RoT, including the Secure Partition Manager and all PSA RoT services.¶
- The (optional) Application RoT, that is any application-defined security service, possibly making use of the PSA RoT services.¶
- The loader of the application software running in NSPE.¶
A reference implementation of the PSA Attester is provided by [TF-M].¶
4. PSA Claims
This section describes the claims to be used in a PSA attestation token.¶
CDDL [RFC8610] along with text descriptions is used to define each claim independent of encoding. The following CDDL type(s) are reused by different claims:¶
psa-hash-type = bytes .size 32 / bytes .size 48 / bytes .size 64¶
4.1. Caller Claims
4.1.1. Nonce
The Nonce claim is used to carry the challenge provided by the caller to demonstrate freshness of the generated token.¶
The EAT [I-D.ietf-rats-eat] nonce
(claim key 10) is used. The following
constraints apply to the nonce-type
:¶
- The length MUST be either 32, 48, or 64 bytes.¶
- Only a single nonce value is conveyed. Per [I-D.ietf-rats-eat] the array notation is not used for encoding the nonce value.¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
psa-nonce = ( nonce-label => psa-hash-type )¶
4.1.2. Client ID
The Client ID claim represents the security domain of the caller.¶
In PSA, a security domain is represented by a signed integer whereby negative values represent callers from the NSPE and where positive IDs represent callers from the SPE. The value 0 is not permitted.¶
For an example definition of client IDs, see the PSA Firmware Framework [PSA-FF].¶
It is essential that this claim is checked in the verification process to ensure that a security domain, i.e., an attestation endpoint, cannot spoof a report from another security domain.¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
psa-client-id-nspe-type = -2147483648...0 psa-client-id-spe-type = 1..2147483647 psa-client-id-type = psa-client-id-nspe-type / psa-client-id-spe-type psa-client-id = ( psa-client-id-key => psa-client-id-type )¶
4.2. Target Identification Claims
4.2.1. Instance ID
The Instance ID claim represents the unique identifier of the Initial Attestation Key (IAK). The full definition is in [PSA-SM].¶
The EAT ueid
(claim key 256) of type RAND is used. The following constraints
apply to the ueid-type
:¶
- The length MUST be 33 bytes.¶
- The first byte MUST be 0x01 (RAND) followed by the 32-bytes key hash.¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
psa-instance-id-type = bytes .size 33 psa-instance-id = ( ueid-label => psa-instance-id-type )¶
4.2.2. Implementation ID
The Implementation ID claim uniquely identifies the implementation of the immutable PSA RoT. A verification service uses this claim to locate the details of the PSA RoT implementation from an Endorser or manufacturer. Such details are used by a verification service to determine the security properties or certification status of the PSA RoT implementation.¶
The value and format of the ID is decided by the manufacturer or a particular certification scheme. For example, the ID could take the form of a product serial number, database ID, or other appropriate identifier.¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
Note that this identifies the PSA RoT implementation, not a particular instance. To uniquely identify an instance, see the Instance ID claim Section 4.2.1.¶
psa-implementation-id-type = bytes .size 32 psa-implementation-id = ( psa-implementation-id-key => psa-implementation-id-type )¶
4.2.3. Certification Reference
The Certification Reference claim is used to link the class of chip and PSA RoT of the attesting device to an associated entry in the PSA Certification database. It MUST be represented as a string made of nineteen numeric characters: a thirteen-digit [EAN-13], followed by a dash "-", followed by the five-digit versioning information described in [PSA-Cert-Guide].¶
Linking to the PSA Certification entry can still be achieved if this claim is not present in the token by making an association at a Verifier between the reference value and other token claim values - for example, the Implementation ID.¶
psa-certification-reference-type = text .regexp "[0-9]{13}-[0-9]{5}" psa-certification-reference = ( ? psa-certification-reference-key => psa-certification-reference-type )¶
4.3. Target State Claims
4.3.1. Security Lifecycle
The Security Lifecycle claim represents the current lifecycle state of the PSA RoT. The state is represented by an integer that is divided to convey a major state and a minor state. A major state is mandatory and defined by [PSA-SM]. A minor state is optional and 'IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED'. The PSA security lifecycle state and implementation state are encoded as follows:¶
The PSA lifecycle states are illustrated in Figure 2. For PSA, a Verifier can only trust reports from the PSA RoT when it is in SECURED or NON_PSA_ROT_DEBUG major states.¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
psa-lifecycle-unknown-type = 0x0000..0x00ff psa-lifecycle-assembly-and-test-type = 0x1000..0x10ff psa-lifecycle-psa-rot-provisioning-type = 0x2000..0x20ff psa-lifecycle-secured-type = 0x3000..0x30ff psa-lifecycle-non-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x4000..0x40ff psa-lifecycle-recoverable-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x5000..0x50ff psa-lifecycle-decommissioned-type = 0x6000..0x60ff psa-lifecycle-type = psa-lifecycle-unknown-type / psa-lifecycle-assembly-and-test-type / psa-lifecycle-psa-rot-provisioning-type / psa-lifecycle-secured-type / psa-lifecycle-non-psa-rot-debug-type / psa-lifecycle-recoverable-psa-rot-debug-type / psa-lifecycle-decommissioned-type psa-lifecycle = ( psa-lifecycle-key => psa-lifecycle-type )¶
4.3.2. Boot Seed
The Boot Seed claim represents a value created at system boot time that will allow differentiation of reports from different boot sessions.¶
This claim MAY be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
If present, it MUST be between 8 and 32 bytes.¶
psa-boot-seed-type = bytes .size (8..32) psa-boot-seed = ( psa-boot-seed-key => psa-boot-seed-type )¶
4.4. Software Inventory Claims
4.4.1. Software Components
The Software Components claim is a list of software components that includes all the software (both code and configuration) loaded by the PSA RoT. This claim MUST be included in attestation tokens produced by an implementation conformant with [PSA-SM].¶
Each entry in the Software Components list describes one software component using the attributes described in the following subsections. Unless explicitly stated, the presence of an attribute is OPTIONAL.¶
Note that, as described in [RFC9334], a relying party will typically see the result of the verification process from the Verifier in form of an attestation result, rather than the PSA token from the attesting endpoint. Therefore, a relying party is not expected to understand the Software Components claim. Instead, it is for the Verifier to check this claim against the available endorsements and provide an answer in form of an "high level" attestation result, which may or may not include the original Software Components claim.¶
psa-software-component = { ? &(measurement-type: 1) => text &(measurement-value: 2) => psa-hash-type ? &(version: 4) => text &(signer-id: 5) => psa-hash-type ? &(measurement-desc: 6) => text } psa-software-components = ( psa-software-components-key => [ + psa-software-component ] )¶
4.4.1.1. Measurement Type
The Measurement Type attribute (key=1) is short string representing the role of this software component.¶
The following measurement types MAY be used for code measurements:¶
- "BL": a Boot Loader¶
- "PRoT": a component of the PSA Root of Trust¶
- "ARoT": a component of the Application Root of Trust¶
- "App": a component of the NSPE application¶
- "TS": a component of a Trusted Subsystem¶
The same labels with a "-config" postfix (e.g., "PRoT-config") MAY be used for configuration measurements.¶
4.4.1.2. Measurement Value
The Measurement Value attribute (key=2) represents a hash of the invariant software component in memory at startup time. The value MUST be a cryptographic hash of 256 bits or stronger.¶
This attribute MUST be present in a PSA software component.¶
4.4.1.3. Version
The Version attribute (key=4) is the issued software version in the form of a text string. The value of this attribute will correspond to the entry in the original signed manifest of the component.¶
4.4.1.4. Signer ID
The Signer ID attribute (key=5) is the hash of a signing authority public key for the software component. The value of this attribute will correspond to the entry in the original manifest for the component. This can be used by a Verifier to ensure the components were signed by an expected trusted source.¶
This attribute MUST be present in a PSA software component to be compliant with [PSA-SM].¶
4.4.1.5. Measurement Description
The Measurement Description attribute (key=6) contains a string identifying the hash algorithm used to compute the corresponding Measurement Value. The string SHOULD be encoded according to [IANA-HashFunctionTextualNames].¶
4.5. Verification Claims
4.5.1. Verification Service Indicator
The Verification Service Indicator claim is a hint used by a relying party to locate a verification service for the token. The value is a text string that can be used to locate the service (typically, a URL specifying the address of the verification service API). A Relying Party may choose to ignore this claim in favor of other information.¶
psa-verification-service-indicator-type = text psa-verification-service-indicator = ( ? psa-verification-service-indicator-key => psa-verification-service-indicator-type )¶
4.5.2. Profile Definition
The Profile Definition claim encodes the unique identifier that corresponds to the EAT profile described by this document. This allows a receiver to assign the intended semantics to the rest of the claims found in the token.¶
The EAT profile
(claim key 265) is used. The following constraints
apply to its type:¶
This claim MUST be present in a PSA attestation token.¶
See Section 5, for considerations about backwards compatibility with previous versions of the PSA attestation token format.¶
psa-profile-type = "http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0" psa-profile = ( profile-label => psa-profile-type )¶
5. Backwards Compatibility Considerations
A previous version of this specification (identified by the PSA_IOT_PROFILE_1
profile) used claim key values from the "private use range" of the CWT Claims
registry. These claim keys have now been retired and their use is deprecated.¶
Table 1 provides the mappings between the deprecated and new claim keys.¶
PSA_IOT_PROFILE_1 | http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0 | |
---|---|---|
Nonce | -75008 | 10 (EAT nonce) |
Instance ID | -75009 | 256 (EAT euid) |
Profile Definition | -75000 | 265 (EAT eat_profile) |
Client ID | -75001 | 2394 |
Security Lifecycle | -75002 | 2395 |
Implementation ID | -75003 | 2396 |
Boot Seed | -75004 | 2397 |
Certification Reference | -75005 | 2398 |
Software Components | -75006 | 2399 |
Verification Service Indicator | -75010 | 2400 |
The new profile introduces three further changes:¶
- the "Boot Seed" claim is now optional and variable length (see Section 4.3.2),¶
- the "No Software Measurements" claim has been retired,¶
- the "Certification Reference" syntax changed from EAN-13 to EAN-13+5 (see Section 4.2.3).¶
Unless compatibility with existing infrastructure is a concern, emitters (e.g., devices that implement the PSA Attestation API) SHOULD produce tokens with the claim keys specified in this document.¶
To simplify the transition to the token format described in this
document it is RECOMMENDED that receivers (e.g., PSA Attestation Verifiers)
accept tokens encoded according to the old profile (PSA_IOT_PROFILE_1
) as well as
to the new profile (http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0
), at least for the time needed to
their clients to upgrade.¶
6. Token Encoding and Signing
The PSA attestation token is encoded in CBOR [RFC8949] format. Only definite-length string, arrays, and maps are allowed.¶
Cryptographic protection is obtained by wrapping the psa-token
map in a COSE
Web Token (CWT) [RFC8392]. For asymmetric key algorithms, the signature
structure MUST be COSE_Sign1. For symmetric key algorithms, the signature
structure MUST be COSE_Mac0.¶
Acknowledging the variety of markets, regulations and use cases in which the PSA attestation token can be used, this specification does not impose any strong requirement on the cryptographic algorithms that need to be supported by Attesters and Verifiers. It is assumed that the flexibility provided by the COSE format is sufficient to deal with the level of cryptographic agility needed to adapt to specific use cases. For interoperability considerations, it is RECOMMENDED that commonly adopted algorithms are used, such as those discussed in [COSE-ALGS]). It is expected that receivers (Verifiers and Relying Parties) will accept a wider range of algorithms, while Attesters would produce PSA tokens using only one such algorithm.¶
The CWT CBOR tag (61) is not used. An application that needs to exchange PSA attestation tokens can wrap the serialised COSE_Sign1 or COSE_Mac0 in the media type defined in Section 12.2 or the CoAP Content-Format defined in Section 12.3.¶
7. Freshness Model
The PSA Token supports the freshness models for attestation Evidence based on
nonces and epoch handles (Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 of [RFC9334]) using
the nonce
claim to convey the nonce or epoch handle supplied by the Verifier.
No further assumption on the specific remote attestation protocol is made.¶
8. Collated CDDL
psa-token = { psa-nonce psa-instance-id psa-verification-service-indicator psa-profile psa-implementation-id psa-client-id psa-lifecycle psa-certification-reference ? psa-boot-seed psa-software-components } psa-client-id-key = 2394 psa-lifecycle-key = 2395 psa-implementation-id-key = 2396 psa-boot-seed-key = 2397 psa-certification-reference-key = 2398 psa-software-components-key = 2399 psa-verification-service-indicator-key = 2400 nonce-label = 10 ueid-label = 256 profile-label = 265 psa-hash-type = bytes .size 32 / bytes .size 48 / bytes .size 64 psa-boot-seed-type = bytes .size (8..32) psa-boot-seed = ( psa-boot-seed-key => psa-boot-seed-type ) psa-client-id-nspe-type = -2147483648...0 psa-client-id-spe-type = 1..2147483647 psa-client-id-type = psa-client-id-nspe-type / psa-client-id-spe-type psa-client-id = ( psa-client-id-key => psa-client-id-type ) psa-certification-reference-type = text .regexp "[0-9]{13}-[0-9]{5}" psa-certification-reference = ( ? psa-certification-reference-key => psa-certification-reference-type ) psa-implementation-id-type = bytes .size 32 psa-implementation-id = ( psa-implementation-id-key => psa-implementation-id-type ) psa-instance-id-type = bytes .size 33 psa-instance-id = ( ueid-label => psa-instance-id-type ) psa-nonce = ( nonce-label => psa-hash-type ) psa-profile-type = "http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0" psa-profile = ( profile-label => psa-profile-type ) psa-lifecycle-unknown-type = 0x0000..0x00ff psa-lifecycle-assembly-and-test-type = 0x1000..0x10ff psa-lifecycle-psa-rot-provisioning-type = 0x2000..0x20ff psa-lifecycle-secured-type = 0x3000..0x30ff psa-lifecycle-non-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x4000..0x40ff psa-lifecycle-recoverable-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x5000..0x50ff psa-lifecycle-decommissioned-type = 0x6000..0x60ff psa-lifecycle-type = psa-lifecycle-unknown-type / psa-lifecycle-assembly-and-test-type / psa-lifecycle-psa-rot-provisioning-type / psa-lifecycle-secured-type / psa-lifecycle-non-psa-rot-debug-type / psa-lifecycle-recoverable-psa-rot-debug-type / psa-lifecycle-decommissioned-type psa-lifecycle = ( psa-lifecycle-key => psa-lifecycle-type ) psa-software-component = { ? &(measurement-type: 1) => text &(measurement-value: 2) => psa-hash-type ? &(version: 4) => text &(signer-id: 5) => psa-hash-type ? &(measurement-desc: 6) => text } psa-software-components = ( psa-software-components-key => [ + psa-software-component ] ) psa-verification-service-indicator-type = text psa-verification-service-indicator = ( ? psa-verification-service-indicator-key => psa-verification-service-indicator-type )¶
9. Implementation Status
Implementations of this specification are provided by the Trusted Firmware-M project [TF-M], the Veraison project [Veraison], and the Xclaim [Xclaim] library. All three implementations are released as open-source software.¶
10. Security and Privacy Considerations
This specification re-uses the EAT specification and therefore the CWT specification. Hence, the security and privacy considerations of those specifications apply here as well.¶
Since CWTs offer different ways to protect the token, this specification profiles those options and allows signatures using public key cryptography as well as message authentication codes (MACs). COSE_Sign1 is used for digital signatures and COSE_Mac0 for MACs, as defined in the COSE specification [STD96]. Note, however, that the use of MAC authentication is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the associated infrastructure costs for key management and protocol complexities.¶
Attestation tokens contain information that may be unique to a device and therefore they may allow to single out an individual device for tracking purposes. Deployments that have privacy requirements must take appropriate measures to ensure that the token is only used to provision anonymous/pseudonym keys.¶
11. Verification
To verify the token, the primary need is to check correct encoding and signing as detailed in Section 6. In particular, the Instance ID claim is used (together with the kid in the COSE header, if present) to assist in locating the public key used to verify the signature covering the CWT token. The key used for verification is supplied to the Verifier by an authorized Endorser along with the corresponding Attester's Instance ID.¶
In addition, the Verifier will typically operate a policy where values of some of the claims in this profile can be compared to reference values, registered with the Verifier for a given deployment, in order to confirm that the device is endorsed by the manufacturer supply chain. The policy may require that the relevant claims must have a match to a registered reference value. All claims may be worthy of additional appraisal. It is likely that most deployments would include a policy with appraisal for the following claims:¶
- Implementation ID - the value of the Implementation ID can be used to identify the verification requirements of the deployment.¶
- Software Component, Measurement Value - this value can uniquely identify a firmware release from the supply chain. In some cases, a Verifier may maintain a record for a series of firmware releases, being patches to an original baseline release. A verification policy may then allow this value to match any point on that release sequence or expect some minimum level of maturity related to the sequence.¶
- Software Component, Signer ID - where present in a deployment, this could allow a Verifier to operate a more general policy than that for Measurement Value as above, by allowing a token to contain any firmware entries signed by a known Signer ID, without checking for a uniquely registered version.¶
- Certification Reference - if present, this value could be used as a hint to locate security certification information associated with the attesting device. An example could be a reference to a [PSACertified] certificate.¶
11.1. AR4SI Trustworthiness Claims Mappings
[RATS-AR4SI] defines an information model that Verifiers can employ to produce Attestation Results. AR4SI provides a set of standardized appraisal categories and tiers that greatly simplifies the task of writing Relying Party policies in multi-attester environments.¶
The contents of Table 2 are intended as guidance for implementing a PSA Verifier that computes its results using AR4SI. The table describes which PSA Evidence claims (if any) are related to which AR4SI trustworthiness claim, and therefore what the Verifier must consider when deciding if and how to appraise a certain feature associated with the PSA Attester.¶

This document does not prescribe what value must be chosen based on each possible situation: when assigning specific Trustworthiness Claim values, an implementation is expected to follow the algorithm described in Section 2.3.3 of [RATS-AR4SI].¶
11.2. Endorsements, Reference Values and Verification Key Material
[PSA-Endorsements] defines a protocol based on the [RATS-CoRIM] data model that can be used to convey PSA Endorsements, Reference Values and verification key material to the Verifier.¶
12. IANA Considerations
12.1. CBOR Web Token Claims Registration
IANA is requested to make permanent the following claims that have been assigned via early allocation in the "CBOR Web Token (CWT) Claims" registry [IANA-CWT].¶
12.2. Media Type Registration
To indicate that the transmitted content is a PSA Attestation Token,
applications can use the application/eat-cwt
media type defined in
[I-D.ietf-rats-eat-media-type] with the eat_profile
parameter set to
http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0
(or PSA_IOT_PROFILE_1
if the token is encoded
according to the old profile, see Section 5).¶
12.3. CoAP Content-Formats Registration
IANA is requested to register two CoAP Content-Format IDs in the "CoAP Content-Formats" registry [IANA-CoAP-Content-Formats]:¶

Appendix A. Example
The following example shows a PSA attestation token for an hypothetical system comprising two measured software components (a boot loader and a trusted RTOS). The attesting device is in a lifecycle state Section 4.3.1 of SECURED. The attestation has been requested from a client residing in the SPE:¶
{ / eat_profile / 265: "http://arm.com/psa/2.0.0", / psa-client-id / 2394: 2147483647, / psa-security-lifecycle / 2395: 12288, / psa-implementation-id / 2396: h'000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000', / psa-boot-seed / 2397: h'0000000000000000', / psa-certification-reference / 2398: "1234567890123-12345", / psa-software-components / 2399: [ { / measurement value / 2: h'0303030303030303030303030303030 303030303030303030303030303030303', / signer ID / 5: h'0404040404040404040404040404040 404040404040404040404040404040404' } ], / nonce / 10: h'010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 0101010101010101010101', / ueid / 256: h'010202020202020202020202020202020202020202 020202020202020202020202', / psa-vsi / 2400: "https://veraison.example/v1/challenge-respo nse" }¶
The JWK representation of the IAK used for creating the COSE Sign1 signature over the PSA token is:¶
{ "kty": "EC", "crv": "P-256", "x": "MKBCTNIcKUSDii11ySs3526iDZ8AiTo7Tu6KPAqv7D4", "y": "4Etl6SRW2YiLUrN5vfvVHuhp7x8PxltmWWlbbM4IFyM", "d": "870MB6gfuTJ4HtUnUvYMyJpr5eUZNP4Bk43bVdj3eAE" }¶
The resulting COSE object is:¶
18( [ / protected / h'A10126', / unprotected / {}, / payload / h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signature / h'56F50D131FA83979AE064E76E70DC75C070B6D991A EC08ADF9F41CAB7F1B7E2C47F67DACA8BB49E3119B7BAE77AEC6C89162713E0C C6D0E7327831E67F32841A' ] )¶
