RD AD review: are software agents okay? #356

Closed mcr closed 2 years ago

mcr commented 2 years ago 
** Section 3.1.  

There is no limit to or requirement on the types
   of hardware or software environments that can be used to implement an
   Attesting Environment, for example: Trusted Execution Environments
   (TEEs), embedded Secure Elements (eSEs), Trusted Platform Modules
   (TPMs) [TCGarch], or BIOS firmware.

To reinforce that software only solutions are acceptable too should 'software agent' or something to that effect be added to the following example list?

henkbirkholz commented 2 years ago

A TEE does not function without software. I think this is good enough. Other opinions?

mcr commented 2 years ago

We believe that the list of comprehensive enough as it is. If there was a good, easily recognisable example, then we would add it.
