CSP-TRUST-CONCEPT: Execution Attestation and Distributed Trust Layer for Cognitive Skills

Key Points

This proposal aims to enhance the trustworthiness of cognitive skills through a distributed attestation mechanism.
Defines an optional Execution Attestation Layer (EAL) for cognitive skills.
Allows runtime environments to report verifiable attestations without altering existing Passports.
Encourages ecosystem discussion on the proposed trust protocol.
Introduces a framework for establishing trust in cognitive skills that is not finalized but open for discussion and experimentation.

Abstract

CSP-0.1 and CSP-0.2 define portable and verifiable cognitive skills through immutablePassports, Runtime behavior, and Compatibility Layers. However, portability alone does notestablish trust. This document proposes an optional Execution Attestation Layer (EAL) —a distributed trust mechanism that allows runtime environments to issue verifiable attestations about skill behavior without modifying the original Passport. This proposal does notdefine a finalized trust protocol and is intended for ecosystem discussion and future experimentation.
