Abstract
An apparatus and method include generating a trusted computing base (TCB) component identifier (TCI) of a current component of a computing system, generating a compound device identifier (ID) (CDI) of the current component from a CDI of a previous component of the computing system and the TCI of the current component, and determining a size of the TCI of the current component. The system and method further include summing the size of the TCI of the current component and the cumulative size of the TCIs of previous components of the computing system to generate a current cumulative size, combining the current cumulative size and the CDI of the current component, and including the combined current cumulative size and the CDI of the current component in a chain of measurements for attestation of the computing system.
