Standard for Requirements for Token Lifecycle Trustworthiness in Large Language Model Inference

This standard specifies requirements for evaluating the metering of tokens for Large Language Model (LLM) inference. The metering requirements address the full token lifecycle and align with Artificial Intelligence (AI) cloud service token engineering capability requirements on production, flow orchestration, application integration, and governance. The standard defines metrics for source trustworthiness, transmission integrity, processing consistency, and usage traceability. It also specifies lifecycle management requirements for token production, distribution, consumption, and retirement. The standard applies to token providers, cloud service operators, and enterprise consumers in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
