Summary
OPAQUE said TRACE was developed with AMD, Intel, Microsoft and the Technology Innovation Institute and contributed to the Linux Foundation. The specification combines attestation, provenance and workload-identity standards to record software, policies, data classifications and tools used by an AI workload.
Why it matters
TRACE gives platform and security engineers a common target for verifying agent execution across cloud, on-premises and sovereign infrastructure. It shifts governance from configuration claims towards portable evidence of what actually ran.
