Abstract:

   In the IETF Remote Attestation Procedures (RATS) architecture (RFC
   9334), a Verifier accepts Evidence and uses Appraisal Policy for
   Evidence, typically with additional input from Endorsements and
   Reference Values, to generate Attestation Results in formats that are
   useful for Relying Parties.  This document illustrates the purpose
   and role of Endorsements and discusses some considerations in the
   choice of message format for Endorsements in the scope of the RATS
   architecture.

   This document does not aim to define a conceptual message format for
   Endorsements and Reference Values.  Instead, it updates RFC 9334 by
   refining the description of Endorsements and Reference Values.
   Specifically, this document classifies the RATS conceptual messages
   as actual state, reference state, or appraisal policy, and adds
   considerations on conditionally endorsed values, endorsing
   verification keys, timeliness, and multiple Endorsements.
