- Confidential Compute's Remote Attestation is distasteful to some.
- It has its roots in DRM.
- Today it's typically used in user-hostile ways: the provider making it so you can't patch anything on the receiving side.
- You have to take what they give you, precisely.
- But that same ability to patch anything is what makes it impossible to trust what the party on the other side of the network connection did.
- Plus, this tool can be used in user-empowering ways, to force the server to do what the user intends.
