Abstract

Among the problems of binary remote attestation, scalability has often been mentioned in literature because a verifier must know all possible measurements considered acceptable. In this paper, we show that scalability is a manageable issue when attesting a Linux distribution. The main issues remain identifying, with low time impact, the scripts executed, the configuration of components and other files types.
