You are trying to portrait it as an exchange between equal parties which it isn't. I am totally entitled not to have to use a thrid-party-controlled device to access government services. Or my bank account.
- UltraSane 9mo agoremote attestation is just fancy digital signatures with hardware protected secret keys. Are you freaking out about digital signatures used anywhere else?

- UltraSane 9mo ago"Trusted computing boil down to restricting what software I'm allowed to run on hardware I own and use." Remote attestation doesn't do this.
- tliltocatl 9mo agoIt absolutely does. Emphasis on use. The last thing I need is my bank requiring me to use a Poettering-certified distribution because anything else is "insecure".
- UltraSane 9mo agoYou are acting very entitled thinking you can dictate the conditions under which you can connect to other people's computers. This is a "it takes two to tango" situation. I'm sure YOU would refuse to connect to any bank that refuses to use TLS.
- tliltocatl 9mo agoNo man, there is no tango. "It takes two" doesn't apply when one part is a huge corporation.
- UltraSane 9mo agoBOTH parties have to agree on the conditions under which the computers will connect and EITHER can reject them.
