Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing trusted cluster attestation techniques are disclosed. A cluster includes multiple computing devices connected together and at least one cluster security module. The cluster security module collects measurement logs and attestations from N computing devices, with N being a positive integer greater than one. The cluster security module also maintains a log and calculates an attestation for its own hardware and/or software. The cluster security module combines the logs from the N computing device and the log of the cluster security module into an aggregate log, with N+1 logs combined into the aggregate log. Then, the cluster security module generates a single attestation for the cluster to represent the cluster as a whole. The cluster security module is configured to provide the single attestation and aggregate log to an external device responsive to receiving a challenge request from the external device.
