Abstract:

   This document defines Epoch Markers as a means to establish a notion
   of freshness among actors in a distributed system.  Epoch Markers are
   similar to "time ticks" and are produced and distributed by a
   dedicated system known as the Epoch Bell.  Systems receiving Epoch
   Markers do not need to track freshness using their own understanding
   of time (e.g., via a local real-time clock).  Instead, the reception
   of a specific Epoch Marker establishes a new epoch that is shared
   among all recipients.  This document defines Epoch Marker types,
   including CBOR time tags, RFC 3161 TimeStampToken, nonce-like
   structures, and a CWT Claim to embed Epoch Markers in RFC 8392 CBOR
   Web Tokens, which serve as vehicles for signed protocol messages.
