Abstract:

   The Remote ATtestation procedureS (RATS) architecture (RFC 9334)
   defines how Evidence is conveyed from an Attester to a Verifier and
   how the resulting Attestation Results are conveyed to a Relying
   Party.  It deliberately stops at the point where a Relying Party has
   appraised Attestation Results.  This document specifies Trusted
   Artifact Provenance (TAP), a consumer of Attestation Results that
   defines what happens next in one specific and recurring case:
   releasing sealed key material to a process that reconstructs a
   stateful asset inside an attested environment, and recording the
   release decision as an auditable object.

   TAP defines three contracts.  The Producer contract governs how an
   artifact is sealed and bound to the attested identity of the
   environment that produced it.  The Sealer contract governs the
   attestation-gated release of key material to a reconstruction
   environment.  The TAP Verifier contract governs after-the-fact
   appraisal of provenance and release records.  TAP does not define an
   appraisal policy language, does not define a new Evidence format, and
   does not replace any part of RFC 9334.
