remote attestation

Remote attestation is a security process where a device proves its integrity to a remote server using hardware-backed measurements, typically involving TPM 2.0, UEFI Secure Boot, and Virtualization-based Security (VBS). On WindowsForum.com, discussions center on its emerging role in gaming anti-cheat systems, particularly Microsoft's push for hardware-rooted trust in titles like Call of Duty. The technology enables cloud services to verify that a PC's boot state and software stack haven't been tampered with, helping distinguish legitimate systems from compromised ones. Topics include how remote attestation works with TPM 2.0, its impact on PC gamers, and practical considerations for enabling these features to maintain fair play in multiplayer environments.
