alt Hacker NewsA hypothetical useful use of attestation is that a company promising to process personal data securely could actually prove it to end-users, by open-sourcing their server-side code and using reproducible builds combined with remote attestation, to prove to the client that the server-side is running unmodified within a secure enclave.
I struggle to think of a useful use for it on the end-user client side, though.
Isn’t the client-side case something like “the banking app you’re entering your account password into is the binary the bank created and not a compromised binary that will drain your bank account”?
