# SPIFFE **Aliases:** SPIFFE/SPIRE **Entity class:** Workload identity **Integration priority:** P1 **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] **Canonical source article:** [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]] ## Definition **SPIFFE** — Machine/workload identity standard independent of chassis. This entry treats the technology or concept as a concrete part, precedent, or comparison within host-infrastructure analysis; it does not by itself establish consciousness transfer, personal continuity, or a company's intent to build either. <!-- BEGIN HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ## Relationships ### Host–residual infrastructure patch — 2026-09-10 **Resolved aliases:** `SPIFFE/SPIRE` **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] **Canonical source article:** [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]] **Related acquisition source:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] #### Host-infrastructure integration Machine/workload identity standard independent of chassis. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-1392 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Durable Identity|Durable Identity]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Runtime workload identity provides an implementable analogue of identity independent of location. - **HR-1393 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Root of Trust Succession|Root of Trust Succession]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Identity remains dependent on issuing/attesting trust domain; succession must preserve validation. #### Epistemic boundary Evidence status and relationship type are recorded on each typed edge; graph candidates remain labeled **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**. <!-- END HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 -->
