See full text

A status arbiter includes a first input operative to receive at least one of a server public key and an agent public key. A second input is operative to receive a secure confirmation signal, where the secure confirmation signal may include an encrypted signal indicating of the state of an underlying device. An authenticating means for determining the state of the underlying device is coupled to the private key input, which provides for the release of digital credentials indicating that the underlying device is secure. A secure device operating method includes receiving an authentication request. Next, providing a device credential in response to the authentication request, where the device credential is provided in response to a secure confirmation signal indicating that the underlying device is authorized to perform the authentication request.
