Hello Kyle, 1) The terminal must have its own keypair (in AD, it's a preshared machine password hash) which must be used to authenticate the terminal. In this example, are you referring to platform authentication or to an attestation of the software stack loaded on the platform? What I mean b

To get such an attestation to TLS, there are really two authentications that must be done (and this is, btw, akin to the model that MS Active Directory takes): 1) The terminal must have its own keypair (in AD, it's a preshared machine password hash) which must be used to authenticate the terminal

Hello all, I believe that TPM-generated platform attestation is a powerful mechanism that can be used to augment user authentication, but it has its issues, some of which were mentioned above: - TPM attestation is based on attestation quotes which are digitally signed attestation logs. Attestat
