Towards More Practical Software-based Attestation
Our paper Towards More Practical Software-based Attestation has been accepted for publication by Elsevier’s Computer Networks Journal. Authors: Rodrigo Vieira Steiner, Emil Lupu Abstract: Software-based attestation promises to enable the integrity verification of untrusted devices without requiring any particular hardware. However, existing proposals rely on strong assumptions that hinder their deployment and might even weaken their security. One of such assumptions is that using the maximum known network round-trip time to define the attestation timeout allows all honest devices to reply in time. While this is normally true in controlled environments, it is generally false in real deployments and especially so in a scenario […]
