AUTOMATED CONFIGURATION OF ATTESTATION NODES USING A SOFTWARE DEPOT

Abstract:

A method for an attestation machine to attest a software executing on a remote machine is provided. The method receives, at the attestation machine, a request from the remote machine for attestation of the software executing on the remote machine. The method then determines, by the attestation machine, whether metadata associated with the software is stored at a remote server. The remote server includes several software packages for at least one of installation or upgrade and metadata associated with each of the several software packages. When the metadata associated with the software is stored at the remote server, the method sends, from the attestation machine, an attestation confirmation message to the remote machine.
