   Title:   Continuity Receipts: Registering the Recovery of a Stateful Asset as a Signed Statement in a Transparency Service

Abstract:

   A Transparency Service as defined by RFC 9943 registers Signed
   Statements about Artifacts and returns Receipts, encoded per RFC
   9942, that prove registration in an append-only log.  The Statements
   registered today typically describe how an Artifact was built,
   tested, or released.  They do not describe what happens after that:
   the Artifact is sealed, moved, lost, and later re-created somewhere
   else, and that re-creation leaves no independently checkable trace.

   This document defines a Continuity Receipt: the Receipt obtained when
   a recovery event is registered as a Signed Statement in a
   Transparency Service.  It specifies the Subject and the required
   claims of a recovery Statement, how Attestation Results from RFC 9334
   remote attestation are carried or referenced by it, and how a
   sequence of such Statements under one Subject forms a verifiable
   continuity chain across the lifetime of a stateful asset.

   The document is deliberately narrow.  It defines a payload and a set
   of claims, not a new Transparency Service, not a new verifiable data
   structure, and not a new attestation format.  It also records, rather
   than conceals, the divergence between what it specifies and what the
   reference implementation currently does.
