Introduction#

NVIDIA Attestation APIs return verification results as Detached Entity Attestation Token (EAT) Bundles, following the RFC 9711 standard. This format provides a structured way to report attestation status for systems that may contain multiple hardware entities.

Understanding the Token Structure#

The attestation response consists of a set of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) organized as follows:

  • Overall Token: The primary JWT that provides the high-level attestation result for the entire request.

  • Detached Claims: Individual JWTs that contain detailed verification data for each specific device (e.g., a specific GPU or Switch) identified in the request.

By using detached claims, the verifier can provide granular evidence for each hardware component while maintaining a unified summary in the overall token.

Claims Reference Guide#

The specific claims available within these tokens depend on the hardware type and the version of the attestation service. Use the links below to view the detailed claim definitions:
