Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide indemnification for a transaction involving communications between networked devices. In an embodiment, attestation logic of a first device sends to a second device attestation information to indicate a trustworthiness level of first device. Based on the attestation information, indemnification logic of the second device determines an indemnification value representing a cost of an indemnification for a first transaction. Indemnification logic of the first device receives the indemnification value and determines, based on the indemnification value, whether a participation in the transaction is to take place.
