Abstract
Policy-based client-server systems and methods for attestation in managing and securing mobile computing devices. Attestation provides the means to make efficient, secure, and reproducible use of knowledge possessed by trusted expert parties and authorities within the expression and enforcement of policies for controlling use of, and access to, onboard software and hardware, network capabilities, and remote assets and services. Aspects of secure attestation of applications that use shared and dynamically loaded libraries are presented, as well as potential business models for attestation used in such a policy-based system. The system of the present invention resolves attestation record conflicts using digital certificates and digital signatures.
