A size reducer for tabular data models. As the tabular data model is being created, the size reducer evaluates one or more columns of the tabular data model. For a given column, the memory burden and data type of the column are determined. Based on this information, the size reducer automatically determines at least one modification that can be made to the column (as compared to the source column at the data source) in order to reduce the size of the column's burden in the tabular data model. Example modifications might include splitting of column as compared to its source column in the data source, removing information (e.g., rounding) from a column as compared to its source column, and even eliminating columns from the tabular data model that are present in the external data source.

Attestation by a self-regulating attestation client. The attestation client requests a credential of health from an attestation service, which includes an ordered attestation log and proof of integrity and freshness of the log. The attestation client receives the requested credential of health, which certifies the attestation client was healthy when it requested the credential of health and that the attestation service trusts the attestation client to be healthy each time the attestation client authenticates using the credential of health. The attestation client receives a request to authenticate that it is healthy using the credential of health, verifies that it is currently healthy, and performs the requested authentication.

Self regulation of the subject of attestation

Embodiments of the invention enable a client device to procure trustworthy device claims describing one or more attributes of the client device, have those device claims included in a data structure having a format suitable for processing by an application, and use the data structure which includes the device claims in connection with a request to access the application. The application may use the device claims to drive any of numerous types of application functionality, such as security-related and/or other functionality.
