Re: [EAT] Introduction

My understanding from the RATS BoF and talking to Henk, Marty and others is that it is about sending the attestations created by TPMs to a remote entity. These  attestation messages contain the usual measurements of the running SW that TPMs do. It is very TCG oriented. 

There is some possibility of defining a protocol to carry these attestations, but I don’t think anything has been written. 

There was a lot of interest in this from the network infrastructure folks that want to make sure routers, firewalls and such were booted and still running correctly.
