WS-Attestation: Enabling Trusted Computing on Web Services

Overview This paper proposes WS-Attestation, an attestation architecture based upon a Web Services framework. The increasing prevalence of security breaches caused by malicious software shows that the conventional identity based trust model is insufficient as a protection mechanism. It is unfortunately common for a computing platform in the care of a trustworthy owner to behave maliciously. Specifications created by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) introduced the concept of platform integrity attestation, by which a computing platform can prove its current configuration state to a remote verifier in a reliable manner. WS-Attestation allows Web Services providers and consumers to leverage this technology in order to make better informed business decisions based on the security of the other party.
