Abstract

Systems and methods for enterprise platform verification are provided. In some aspects, a computing device includes a trusted platform module (TPM). The TPM includes an endorsement key (EK) physically embedded in the TPM. The TPM includes an attestation identity key (AIK), the AIK being used to verify that at least one TPM-protected key different from the EK and different from the AIK is generated at the TPM and is non-migratable. The TPM includes an enterprise machine key (EMK), the EMK being certified by the AIK, the EMK being uniquely associated with the client computing device, and the EMK being generated during enrollment of the client computing device with an enterprise and remaining active until a factory reset of the client computing device.
