Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to a printed circuit assembly (PCA). The PCA includes a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCA further includes an identification device embedded within the PCB. The identification device stores identity information that uniquely identifies identification device and the PCB. Moreover, a PCB identifier defined using the identity information is also stored in a platform attestation file hosted locally within the PCA, on a remote server, or both locally within the PCA and on the remote server. Additionally, the PCA includes an authentication device disposed on the PCB, wherein the platform attestation file is cryptographically bound to the authentication device.
