    摘要: A technique for attesting a plurality of data processing systems. The method includes: configuring a chain of data processing systems wherein a first data processing system is responsible for retrieving attestation data associated with a second data processing system; sending a request for attestation of the first data processing system; in response to receiving the request, retrieving a list of associated one or more children, wherein the one or more children comprise the second data processing system; retrieving and storing attestation data associated with each child; retrieving and storing attestation data associated with the first data processing system; and sending to the requester a concatenated response containing the attestation data associated with the first and second data processing systems, such that the attestation data associated with the first and second data processing systems can be used to attest the first and second data processing systems, respectively.

    摘要: A method for attesting a component of a system during a boot process. The method comprises the steps of: verifying that the system is in a trusted state; in response to verifying that the system is in a trusted state, requesting an enrollment of the system wherein the requesting step further comprises the step of: retrieving enrollment data associated with the system; retrieving current input data associated with the component of the system; comparing the current input data against the enrollment data in order to determine whether the system can retain its trusted state; wherein in response to the comparing step, if the current input data matches the enrollment data, the system retains its trusted state; and accepting the trusted state until receipt of a notification, from the system having a retained trusted state, of an update to the system.
