One method includes obtaining information, wherein the information includes the attestation of the statement, wherein the statement includes at least a portion of the information to be attested to, and wherein the attestation includes a context describing conditions of the attestation, and wherein the attestation includes a cryptographic signature of the context and the statement. The method further includes validating the information. The method further includes communicating after validating the information the information to a destination while maintaining at least one of data privacy or data provenance, including creating a new statement by transforming the statement to a form suitable for the destination, creating, by the computing device, a new attestation by signing the new statement with a new context specific to the computing device, and making available the new attestation to the destination.
