Hi, RATS chairs/all,

I have read this draft and I support adoption. I think it’s healthy to be open-minded about different verifier topologies, and to bring the expertise of this WG to bear on reasoning about how they might be deployed. An adopted draft feels like a good vehicle for doing that.

Cheers,
P.

This message starts a rats WG Call for Adoption of:
draft-deshpande-rats-multi-verifier-04

This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-04-24

Abstract:
   IETF RATS Architecture, defines the key role of a Verifier.  In a
   complex system, this role needs to be performed by multiple Verfiers
   coordinating together to assess the full trustworthiness of an
   Attester.  This document focuses on various topological patterns for
   a multiple Verifier system.  It only covers the architectural aspects
   introduced by the Multi Verifier concept, which is neutral with
   regard to specific wire formats, encoding, transport mechanisms, or
   processing details.
