Evidence posture

evidence_class: SOURCE_REVIEWED
page_completeness: COMPLETE_WITH_EXTERNAL_GATES
runtime_observation: none attached
independent_reproduction: false
comparative_testing_claim_allowed: false
execution_authority_claim_allowed: false

Published scope

SPIFFE defines workload identity standards; SPIRE implements workload attestation and issuance of short-lived workload credentials within trust domains.

Canonical source: https://spiffe.io/docs/latest/spiffe-about/overview/

Source snapshot posture: official documentation is recorded, but no pinned SPIFFE/SPIRE release, trust-domain configuration, registration entries, attestation payloads, issued SVIDs, bundle hashes, or independent replay evidence is attached.

Native terms

SPIFFE/SPIRE term	Meaning here	StegVerse relationship
SPIFFE ID	URI identifying a workload.	Workload identity evidence; not authority.
SVID	Credential asserting a SPIFFE identity.	Short-lived identity evidence with freshness requirements.
Trust domain	Administrative identity boundary.	Context for identity interpretation, not inherited standing.
Workload attestation	Process used to identify a workload.	Identity-establishment evidence.
Bundle	Trust material used to verify SVIDs.	Verification source requiring provenance and freshness.

Relationship to admissibility

SPIFFE/SPIRE asks: What workload is this, and can its workload credential be verified within a trust domain?
StegVerse asks: Does this actor or workload currently possess bounded authority and delegation for this exact consequence-bearing transition?

Workload identity and attestation may establish actor or workload evidence. Current delegation, transition scope, policy, recoverability, and consequence-binding authority remain separately reconstructable.

Observation boundary

No public SPIRE attestation, SVID issuance, verification, rotation, or StegVerse integration observation is claimed.

shared test vector: missing
raw output: missing
timestamp: missing
runtime configuration: missing
source version or hash: missing
replay commands: missing
declared expected outcome: missing
independent reproduction: missing

StegVerse analysis

Criterion	Current result
Identity	Strong native contribution for workload identity and attestation.
Authority	Identity verification does not establish action-level authority.
Policy	Registration and selector policy can inform identity issuance but not transition permission.
Delegation	Delegation remains external to the SVID and must be current and scoped.
Evidence	Attestation records, registration entries, SVIDs, bundles, and issuance logs can form identity evidence.
Replayability	Requires pinned SPIRE version, plugins, selectors, registration state, trust bundle, and inputs.
Reconstructability	Possible when issuance, rotation, trust bundle, and attestation provenance are retained.
Failure behavior	Expired credentials, bundle mismatch, unresolved trust domain, or attestation failure must fail closed.
Interoperability	Verified workload identity can populate actor evidence in a Commitment Candidate.

Failure classes

Failure class	Applies	Current evidence posture
Semantic equivalence divergence	Yes	Verified identity is not verified authority.
Authority drift	Yes	Authority may change while an identity credential remains valid.
Stale evidence	Yes	SVIDs, bundles, selectors, and registrations expire or change.
Delegation leakage	Yes	Workload identity can be overinterpreted as broad delegated permission.
Replay divergence	Yes	Plugin, selector, trust bundle, and registration changes affect results.
Fail-open runtime error	Yes	Attestation or verification errors must not create implicit trust.
Actor ambiguity	Yes	Shared infrastructure and workload mutation can complicate actor attribution.

Maintenance and challenge path

Maintenance owner: StegVerse-Labs/admissibility-wiki, External Frameworks audit surface.

A challenge must identify spiffe-spire, the disputed identity or authority mapping, relevant version or trust-domain artifact, supporting evidence, and requested correction. Credential verification cannot increase standing without separately reconstructable authority and delegation evidence.

Validation completion criteria

pinned SPIFFE/SPIRE release and plugin set
pinned trust-domain and registration configuration
captured attestation inputs and raw outputs
issued SVID and trust bundle hashes
expiry and rotation timestamps
verification commands and results
predeclared expected StegVerse boundary
independent rerun receipt
non-claim language preserved

Non-claims

Identity is not authority. Attestation is not admissibility. Credential possession does not independently grant execution authority. This page does not claim live integration, certification, or general compatibility.

Next safe build target

Attach one pinned SPIRE attestation and SVID issuance packet with trust-domain configuration, selectors, raw outputs, bundle and credential hashes, expiry data, verification command, and independent rerun receipt.

This page reflects a bounded admissibility packet. Publication does not create standing. The reflected claim inherits only the standing reconstructable from referenced evidence, authority, and admissibility conditions.
