[Rats] Rats and EAT

[Laurence Lundblade <[e-mail]>]

Hey EAT and Rats folks, just became aware of IETF attestation work running in parallel. Seems like EAT is focused more on an independent signed, self-secured data structure with a lot of clams. Rats, seems more TPM and full protocol centric, but I’m still reading.

Here’s a list of attestation work that Diego and Henk made:

A couple of other interesting non-TPM “attestation" technologies:
- FIDO <https://www.w3.org/Submission/2015/SUBM-fido-key-attestation-20151120/> does attestation of FIDO authenticators
- Android KeyStore <https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-key-attestation> uses the term to mean proving the provenance of a stored key
- IEEE 802.1AR is kind of an attestation too

FYI, the IETF attestation events I know of so far are:
 - I’ll present EAT at HotRFC Sunday around 18:00
 - Secdispatch discussion of EAT (and Rats?) Monday at 15:30 (At least I hope; no confirmation yet)
 - EAT BarBof Monday at 18:00
 - Rats BarBof Thursday after dinner

I will attend them all :-)
