The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been developing an architecture for standardizing remote attestation procedures, including for Confidential Computing. Such procedures can be used to securely verify that a remote system is in a good state. Dave Thaler, who is one of the architecture document editors, will present an overview of the architecture being standardized.
