Abstract:

   This document outlines desirable security goals and use cases for
   integrating remote attestation (RA) capabilities with secure channel
   establishment protocols (e.g., TLS and DTLS).  Peer authentication in
   such protocols establishes trust in a peer's network identifiers but
   provides no assurance regarding the integrity of its underlying
   software and hardware stack.  Remote attestation addresses this gap
   by enabling a peer to provide verifiable evidence about the current
   state of the Target Environment.  This document specifies a set of
   essential security goals the protocol solution must have, including
   cryptographic binding to the secure connection, evidence freshness,
   and flexibility to support different attestation models.  It then
   explores relevant use cases, such as confidential data collaboration
   and secure secrets provisioning, to motivate the need for this
   integration.  This document is intended to serve as an input to the
   design of protocol solutions within the SEAT working group.
