Dear SIG members,

The TAC has begun creating a set of priorities as we did for 2023.

Please consider setting SIG goals for 2024 that we can reflect in the TAC. I think it’s helpful to get ourselves and our companies aligned by having consistent objectives for the year.

Perhaps the Chairs could draft 3-5 goals so the broader SIG can have a structured discussion. The final set should be no larger than 3-5.

Example goals:

You may wish to reference the original SIG materials for inspiration.

One of the high-level goals could be: formal specification and verification of attestation mechanisms. This verification goal could entail all the three subprojects:

  1. Formal specification project:

    • extending the formal guarantees to the Relying Party, i.e., how the Relying Party can verify the Verifier
    • verifying the configuration at runtime (vs. design-time)
  2. Interoperable TLS: e.g., formal verification of Intel's RA-TLS protocol

  3. Attested TLS: e.g., verifying that the proposed solution maintains all properties of TLS protocol

as well as standardization work in IETF/IRTF:

@wenhuizhang on Slack:

  • Clarify properties and specifications cloud-based confidential computing attestation and authorization products should follow, to get the certifications, such as SOC2, ISO/IEC 27001 etc.

  • Cross-architecture integrity measurement and attestation API collaboration

  • Userspace code integrity measurement and attestation for SAAS and PAAS confidential computing products

Yup, the target outputs are in forms of:

  1. White paper
  2. open source API SDK
  3. Demo and tutorial on best practices of the API SDK

@jdbeaney something like Objective: simplify the attestation landscape for Relying Parties Key Result: Out of the n possible evidence formats align on recommending m formats. (m= 1, 2, ?)

@dcmiddle , @thomas-fossati - can we close this issue? We are in the 2nd half of 2024, so I presume the 2024 objectives are known. 😄

@gkostal Well let's consider it 2H'24 then. :) I'd like the SIG Chairs to figure out some tangible deliverable. Our conversations on formats and best practices are a very good use of people's time. However, I would also like to be able to say at the end of the year though some measurable accomplishment(s).
