Description

Implementation feedback:
We would like to perform a health check for an SSF stream, which uses the verification event on periodic basis. This design also relies on an SLA for verification event transmission times. The SSF spec does not specify how this SLA will be agreed on between a transmitter and a receiver. We think it would make sense to add SLA in the Stream Configuration similar to inactivity_timeout (https://openid.net/specs/openid-sharedsignals-framework-1_0-final.html#section-8.1.1-20 [openid.net].

Research direction

Start with the SSF specification's Stream Configuration section and compare the proposed SLA with the existing inactivity_timeout setting. Review the three issue comments before deciding how transmitter and receiver agreement should be represented; done means reaching and documenting a clear design for the verification-event transmission SLA.
