RATS -- Remote ATtestation procedureS
About RATS	English (USA)
In network protocol exchanges, it is often the case that one entity (a Relying Party) requires Evidence about a remote peer to assess the peer's trustworthiness, and a way to appraise such Evidence. The evidence is typically a set of claims about its software and hardware platform. This document describes an architecture for such remote attestation procedures (RATS). This email list is a place to present, exchange, and discuss common practice, emerging mechanisms and converging terminology in the domain of RATS. This includes requests for public review or pointers to state-of-the art documents. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the RATS Archives.
