Attestation Certificate Authority (ACA) and TPM Provisioning with Trusted Computing-based Supply Chain Validation

-The Host Integrity at Runtime and Start-up Attestation Certificate Authority is a Proof of Concept - Prototype intended to spur interest and adoption of the [Trusted Platform Module (TPM)](https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/work-groups/trusted-platform-module/). It's intended for testing and development purposes only and is not intended for production. The ACA's functionality supports the provisioning of [TPM 2.0](https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2019_TCG_TPM2_BriefOverview_DR02web.pdf) with an [Attestation Certificate](https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/IWG-Credential_Profiles_V1_R1_14.pdf). The ACA can be configured to enforce the Validation of Endorsement and Platform Credentials to illustrate a supply chain validation capability. +The Host Integrity at Runtime and Start-up Attestation Certificate Authority is a Proof of Concept - Prototype intended to spur interest and adoption of the [Trusted Platform Module (TPM)](https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/work-groups/trusted-platform-module/).

The ACA can be configured to enforce the Validation of Endorsement Certificates, Platform Certificates, and Refernce Intregrity Manifests (RIMs) to illustrate a supply chain validation capability known as an "Acceptance Test".

- -The HIRS ACA can be used to perform the Acceptance Test. The HIRS ACA is a web based server which processes Attestation Identity Requests. -The ACA provides a “provisioner” application to be installed on all devices which will be requesting Attestation Certificates. - + **Notice:** Github Discussions have been enabled for this repo. Please refer to the Discussion entitled "[HIRS development changes](https://github.com/nsacyber/HIRS/discussions/498)" for development and support notifications. ## Features - +The HIRS ACA is a web based server which processes Attestation Identity Requests. +The ACA provides a “provisioner” application to be installed on all devices which will be requesting Attestation Certificates. ### Attestation Certificate Authority (ACA)
