Remote attestation for disaggregated and heterogeneous compute clusters

Develop remote attestation protocols that work reliably for disaggregated machines and heterogeneous devices to verify the configuration and co‑location of AI chips participating in a workload, supporting compliance and enforcement.

Background

Enforcing compute restrictions and verifying workload properties requires attesting which chips are in a cluster.

Disaggregated and heterogeneous environments complicate attestation, demanding new protocols to establish trustworthy verification across diverse hardware.

References

An open question is how remote attestation could work for disaggregated machines or for heterogeneous devices.
