Remote Attestation is coming back
The problem isn&#x27;t the capability of remote attestation.  The problem is who&#x27;s using it, i.e. who&#x27;s defining what &quot;security&quot; means.  As noted above, for a company, &quot;security&quot; often means intentionally inhibiting my freedom, not actually securing anything I care about.<p>We would benefit from a better public discussion of what &quot;security&quot; encompasses.  Else, we risk conflating &quot;what MS wants me to do with my computer&quot; with &quot;preventing hackers from stealing my credit card number&quot;.<p>Imagine a world where you could submit personal information to a company, with the technological assurance that this information would not leave that company... and you could verify this with remote attestation of the software running on that company&#x27;s servers.
