Examples of measured components include firmware stored in flash memory, software loaded into memory at start time, data stored in a file system, or values in a CPU register.
This document provides the information model for the measured component and two associated data models.

Currently, the only specified format is Concise Software Identification (CoSWID) Tags of type "evidence", as per <xref section="2.9.4" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC9393" format="default" derivedLink="https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9393#section-2.9.4" derivedContent="RFC9393"/>.
However, CoSWID is not suitable for measurements that cannot be anchored to a file system, such as those in early boot environments.
To address this gap, this document introduces a measured component format that can be used with the EAT Measurement claim alongside or instead of CoSWID.</t>
      <t indent="0" pn="section-1-4">The term "measured component" refers to an object within the attester's target environment whose state can be sampled and typically digested using a cryptographic hash function.

Another example may be the controlling entity in an app store.

In some cases, multiple parties may need to sign a component to indicate their endorsement or approval.

              <t indent="0">The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained (e.g., low-power, lossy) networks. The nodes often have 8-bit microcontrollers with small amounts of ROM and RAM, while constrained networks such as IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) often have high packet error rates and a typical throughput of 10s of kbit/s. The protocol is designed for machine- to-machine (M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation.</t>
              <t indent="0">CoAP provides a request/response interaction model between application endpoints, supports built-in discovery of services and resources, and includes key concepts of the Web such as URIs and Internet media types. CoAP is designed to easily interface with HTTP for integration with the Web while meeting specialized requirements such as multicast support, very low overhead, and simplicity for constrained environments.</t>

              <t indent="0">This document defines two strategies for handling long lines in width-bounded text content. One strategy, called the "single backslash" strategy, is based on the historical use of a single backslash ('\') character to indicate where line-folding has occurred, with the continuation occurring with the first character that is not a space character (' ') on the next line. The second strategy, called the "double backslash" strategy, extends the first strategy by adding a second backslash character to identify where the continuation begins and is thereby able to handle cases not supported by the first strategy. Both strategies use a self-describing header enabling automated reconstitution of the original content.</t>

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to authors and reviewers on what operational and management aspects should be addressed when writing documents in the IETF Stream that document a specification for New Protocols or Protocol Extensions or describe their use. This document obsoletes RFC 5706, replacing it completely and updating it with new operational and management techniques and mechanisms. It also updates RFC 2360 to obsolete mandatory MIB creation. Finally, it introduces a requirement to include an "Operational Considerations" section in new RFCs in the IETF Stream that define New Protocols or Protocol Extensions or describe their use (including relevant YANG Models), while providing an escape clause if no new considerations are identified.</t>

              <t indent="0">Vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices have raised the need for a reliable and secure firmware update mechanism suitable for devices with resource constraints. Incorporating such an update mechanism is a fundamental requirement for fixing vulnerabilities, but it also enables other important capabilities such as updating configuration settings and adding new functionality.</t>
              <t indent="0">In addition to the definition of terminology and an architecture, this document provides the motivation for the standardization of a manifest format as a transport-agnostic means for describing and protecting firmware updates.</t>

              <t indent="0">Arm's Platform Security Architecture (PSA) is a family of hardware and firmware security specifications, along with open-source reference implementations, aimed at helping device makers and chip manufacturers integrate best-practice security into their products. Devices that comply with PSA can generate attestation tokens as described in this document, which serve as the foundation for various protocols, including secure provisioning and network access control. This document specifies the structure and semantics of the PSA attestation token.</t>
              <t indent="0">The PSA attestation token is a profile of the Entity Attestation Token (EAT). This specification describes the claims used in an attestation token generated by PSA-compliant systems, how these claims are serialized for transmission, and how they are cryptographically protected.</t>
              <t indent="0">This Informational document is published as an Independent Submission to improve interoperability with Arm's architecture. It is not a standard nor a product of the IETF.</t>
