| Abstract | The Internet of Things integrates multiple hardware appliances from large cloud data centres to constrained devices embedded within the physical reality, from multiple vendors and providers, under the same infrastructure. These appliances are subject to different restrictions, have different available resources and show different risk profiles and vulnerabilities. In these scenarios, remote attestation mechanisms are essential, enabling the verification of a distant appliance's internal state before allowing it to access sensitive data or execute critical workloads. This work proposes a new attestation approach based on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), devoted to performing Remote Attestation as a Service (RAaaS) while guaranteeing essential properties such as flexibility, generality, domain separation and authorized initiation. The proposed solution can prove both edge devices and IoT devices reliability to services running on cloud data centres. Furthermore, the first prototype of this service has been validated and evaluated via a real use case. |
