Layering Negotiations for Flexible Attestation
Overview This paper proposes a layering negotiation approach. It divides an attestation process into a global attestation phase that verifies that a Trusted Virtual Domains (TVD) is fundamentally secure and supporting essential trusted primitives and a local attestation phase that verifies the integrity of a specific component involved in a usage scenario. And, a combination of attestation methods is decided as a result of negotiation between the components for each kind of attestation at each phase. With this approach, the attestation corresponding to a usage scenario can be done flexibly based on the minimal required attestation needed in the TVD, so the component developers can concentrate on the implementation of the higher-level functions.
