Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an improved system and method of producing, recording and reporting boot integrity measurements of an Internet of Things (“IoT”) computing device to resource (such as an on-chip software module, an external software module, a printer, a network router, or a server), so the resource can confirm that the IoT computing device can be trusted before access to the resource is granted. Embodiments provide a new and less expensive architecture for reliably collecting and relaying device state information to support trust-sensitive applications. Embodiments leverage crypto-acceleration modules found on many existing microprocessors and microcontroller-based IoT devices, while introducing little additional overhead or additional circuitry.
