‘Attribution’ is crazy
I'm on the same boat as others, I totally did not understand the question. Message attributes? I had no idea what that meant. I appreciate Marc_S for the dictionary definition of "Attribution" (being caused by a person or thing). Hence, Non-Repudiation proves who sent the message.
This kind of helped me understand the question better. This is the Oxford dictionary definition of "attribution": at·tri·bu·tion /ˌatrəˈbyo͞oSHən/ noun the action of regarding something as being caused by a person or thing. "the electorate was disillusioned with his immediate attribution of the bombings to a separatist group" the action of ascribing a work or remark to a particular author, artist, or person. "the study of Constable is fraught with problems of attribution" the action of regarding a quality or feature as characteristic of or possessed by a person or thing. "the attribution of human emotions to inanimate objects"
