Abstract

Attestation is a mechanism that is employed to verify the authenticity and integrity of the other(s) part(s), i.e., in hardware and/or software of a device. The remote attestation is the activity of verifying the authenticity and integrity of a target that provides evidence to a verifier over a network that should be accepted or denied as a result of this process. Classic authorization relies in the information provided by a device and gives permission for a specific operation. The attestation adds a new a layer of information, not only we need to know who the device is, but we also need to know if it is in good standing (i.e. performing according to its design) before authorization. This paper proposes the use of the Passport model, using the Challenge/Response development based on the architecture described by the IETF working group RATS - Remote Attestation Procedures Architecture. The elaborated Proof-of-Concept is designed and evaluated using docker containers and TPM software simulation.
