+* `MREnclave`, a unique identifier of the contract enclave code;
+* `basename`, which contains (and is directly derived from) the SPID in EPID attestations;

+At contract enclave registration time, the TP verifies that an attestation report is correctly signed by IAS and includes the expected values.
 Further, the CCF TP governance consortium is permitted to change the
 values of these parameters, subject to TP consortium governance rules.
