This message starts a rats WG Call for Adoption of:
draft-poirier-rats-eat-da-10

This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-09-11

Abstract:
   In confidential computing, device assignment (DA) is the method by
   which a device (e.g., network adapter, GPU), whether on-chip or
   behind a PCIe Root Port, is assigned to a Trusted Virtual Machine
   (TVM).  For the TVM to trust an assigned device, the device must
   provide the TVM with attestation Evidence confirming its identity,
   the state of its firmware and configuration.

   Since Evidence claims can be processed by 3rd party entities (e.g.,
   Verifiers, Relying Parties) external to the TVM, there is a need to
   standardize the representation of DA-related information in Evidence
   to ensure interoperability.  This document defines an attestation
   Evidence format for DA as an EAT (Entity Attestation Token) profile.
