# Default context for Verified Access trust data
<a name="trust-data-default-context"></a>

AWS Verified Access includes some elements about the current request by default in all Cedar evaluations regardless of your configured trust providers. You can write a policy that evaluates against the data if you choose.

The following are examples of the data that is included in the evaluation.

## HTTP request
<a name="default-context-http-request"></a>

When a policy is evaluated, Verified Access includes data about the current HTTP request in the Cedar context under the `context.http_request` key.

```

    "title": "HTTP Request data included by Verified Access",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "http_method": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The HTTP method",
            "example": "GET"
        },
        "hostname": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The host subcomponent of the authority component of the URI",
            "example": "example.com"
        },
        "path": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The path component of the URI",
            "example": "app/images"

            "description": "The value of the X-Forwarded-For request header",
            "example": "17.7.7.1"
        },
        "port": { 
           "type": "integer",
           "description": "The endpoint port",

            "type": "string",
            "description": "The value of the User-Agent request header",
            "example": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0"

        "client_ip": {
            "type": "string",

            "example": "15.248.6.6"
        }
    }
}
```

**Policy example**  
The following is an example Cedar policy that uses the HTTP request data.

```
forbid(principal, action, resource) when {
   context.http_request.http_method == "POST"
   && !(context.identity.roles.contains("Administrator"))
 };
```

## TCP flow
<a name="default-context-tcp-flow"></a>

When a policy is evaluated, Verified Access includes data about the current TCP flow in the Cedar context under the `context.tcp_flow` key.

```
{
    "title": "TCP flow data included by Verified Access",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "destination_ip": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The IP address of the target",
            "example": "192.100.1.3"
        },
        "destination_port": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The target port",
            "example": 22
        },
        "client_ip": {
            "type": "string",
            "description": "The IP address connecting to the endpoint",
            "example": "172.154.16.9"
        }
    }
}
