Abstract:

   Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) files and the MUD URIs that
   point to them are defined in RFC 8520.  This document introduces a
   new type of MUD file to be delivered in conjunction with a MUD file
   signature and/or to be referenced via a MUD URI embedded in other
   documents or messages, such as an IEEE 802.1AR Secure Device
   Identifier (DevID) or a CBOR Web Token (CWT).  These signed documents
   can be presented to other entities, e.g., a network management system
   or network path orchestrator.  If this entity also takes on the role
   of a verifier as defined by the IETF Remote ATtestation procedureS
   (RATS) architecture, this verifier can use the references included in
   the MUD file specified in this document to discover, for example,
   appropriate reference value providers, endorsement documents or
   endorsement distribution APIs, trust anchor stores, remote verifier
   services (sometimes referred to as Attestation Verification
   Services), or transparency logs.  All theses references in the MUD
   file pointing to resources and auxiliary RATS services can satisfy
   general RATS prerequisite by enabling discovery or improve discovery
   resilience of corresponding resources or services.
