Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for computing device attestation. An attestation request is received, from a requestor computing device, for attestation of a target computing device. The attestation request includes a computing device network address of the target computing device. A first lookup operation of the computing device network address is performed in a domain name service (DNS) server to obtain a device name for the target computing device. A second lookup operation of the device name is performed in the DNS server to obtain a text resource record corresponding to the device name. The text resource record stores attestation information for the target computing device corresponding to the device name. Attestation information is extracted from the text resource record and returned to the requestor computing device to perform attestation of the target computing device.
