An ASIL-M Profile for Multi-Root Evidence Synthesis in RATS
This document defines an application profile for Remote ATtestation
procedureS (RATS) deployments in which authorization decisions depend
on evidence from multiple independent trust roots. The profile is
intended for AI inference systems that require explicit cross-root
appraisal before execution is authorized.
The document specifies three related artifacts:
* an Attestation Evidence Synthesis Protocol for combining multiple
evidence sets into one deterministic appraisal outcome;
* the Twin Attestation Policy Language (TAPL), a constrained policy
language for deterministic multi-root appraisal; and
* the Canonical Attestation Record (CAR), an audit-oriented envelope
that binds evidence references, appraisal outputs, freshness
information, and replay-verification metadata.
CAR is not a replacement for Evidence or Attestation Results as used
in the RATS architecture. Instead, it is a higher-layer profile for
packaging multi-root appraisal state and application-specific bindings
for replay and audit.
