I agree with Henk's observation that there is opportunity to find common ground on identity as identity can be a collection of attributes, that if signed, becomes a set of verifiable claims (about identity attributes). Attestation has a similar structure in that it consists of a set of attributes, that if signed becomes a set of verifiable claims. The main difference between identity and attestation attributes is whether the attribute semantically relate to trust (vs. identity). For example, claims of security certification compliance resonates as attestation. It may be possible to combine a set of attestation attributes in such a way that the combination uniquely identifies an entity. But that doesn't make it an identity system per se and shouldn't cause a conflict in charter goals with respect to other identity focused efforts in IETF. Also, inclusion of attributes that don't have semantics that reasonably relate to trust should not be of interest to a working group focused on attestation. -Ned On 10/15/18, 3:53 PM, "EAT on behalf of Henk Birkholz" <eat-bounces@ietf.org on behalf of henk.birkholz@sit.fraunhofer.de> wrote: Hi Jeremy & Denis, all these points of view have merit, I think.

To me, these descriptions seem to have different intents, scope or audience and require most certainly different work-flows, but semantically and in consequence representation-wise they also seem quite related. If you think of an identity document as a set of claims (potentially including a public key), that is signed and that can match one or more things, maybe all three types highlighted above are actually covered by the same identity document concept? With respect to identity documents, I think it is safe so say that we can find common ground here rather easily. That said, the way how these identity documents come into existence, when and how they are deployed on the thing or associated with multiple things is another question. We most certainly do not want to end up with a "signing fool" that does not add value to the level of confidence (I am quoting Ned Smith here). This has to be fleshed out explicitly for each scenario and the parts that are reused in every scenario should get special attention in the upcoming RATS architecture draft. Identifying claims aggregated in an identity document most certainly can include device characteristics, public key(s), or claims about the intended functions and capabilities of the thing. Claims can even originate from Claimants that are not the thing itself, but external entities providing an assertion (e.g. these things are CC-certified). All different composites of identifying claims have a specific shared intend in this context though, I think: expressing Attestation Provenance (again - one for one or more things of the same kind). And all of them originate from Claimants and therefore use a root of trust of measurement, I think. That said, establishing trustworthy knowledge about attestation provenance is only the first step and provides the foundation for more complex attestation procedures. In any case, this seem to be required by every scenario that was highlighted so far and therefore will most certainly be covered in a deliverable.
