Abstract:
A computing device having instructions that when executed by a processor may: receive, from a verifier, a request for attestation of a current network configuration of the computing device; identify network configuration rules, each network configuration rule specifying an action to be taken by the computing device in response to receiving a particular type of network traffic; generate, for each network configuration rule, a rule abstraction that represents the network configuration rule; provide data representing each rule abstraction to a trusted component; receive, from the trusted component, response data comprising i) data representing each rule abstraction, and ii) a digital signature; and provide the response data to the verifier as attestation proof of the current network configuration of the computing device.
