    Abstract: A method comprising: generating, with a device, a nonce; writing, with the device, the nonce to a memory location accessible to a kernel; initializing the kernel; in response to an end of initialization, measuring a specified kernel space to produce a first result; writing the first result to a register of a second device; writing a location and size of the specified kernel space to a buffer; measuring the buffer; writing a result of buffer measurement to a second register of the second device; requesting a quote from the second device, the quote to include the nonce, the contents of the register, and the contents of the second register; and passing the quote to the device.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to using an integrity manifest certificate to verify the state of a platform. A device identity of a device that has the device identity provisioned and stored in a security co-processor to retrieve an integrity proof from the security co-processor. The device includes at least one processing element, at least one memory device, and a bus including at least one bus device, and wherein the device identity is associated with a device identity certificate signed by a first authority. The integrity proof includes a representation of each of a plurality of hardware components including the at least one processing element, the at least one memory device, the at least one bus device, and a system board and a representation of plurality of firmware components included in the device. The integrity proof is provided to a certification station. The certification station determines that the integrity proof is an expected value based on an expected provisioning state of the device and the device identity. The certification station signs, using a second authority, an integrity manifest certificate, based on the integrity proof and the device identity. The integrity manifest certificate is stored.

    Abstract: A method comprising: launching, by a pre-boot environment, a pre-boot launch enclave (LE); creating, by the pre-boot LE, a launch token for a pre-boot quoting enclave (QE); authenticating, by the pre-boot LE, the launch token; launching, by the pre-boot environment with the launch token in response to the authentication, the pre-boot QE; generating, by the pre-boot QE, a public provisioning key, a private provisioning key, and an attestation key; verifying, by the pre-boot QE with a public key, authenticity of a device; securing, by the pre-boot QE with the public provisioning key, private provisioning key, and the public key, a communication channel with the device; encrypting, by the pre-boot QE with a system specific seal key, the public provisioning key, the private provisioning key, and the attestation key; and storing, by the pre-boot QE, the encrypted public provisioning key, the encrypted private provisioning key, and the encrypted attestation key in the device.
