This white paper provides an overview and an example of employing hardware-enabled security capabilities to provision, measure, attest to, and enforce the integrity of the compute platform to foster trust in a 5G system’s server infrastructure. It discusses security threats within computing environments and how leveraging hardware roots of trust (HRoT) and remote attestation can help mitigate specific threats. This white paper is part of a series called Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities, which covers 5G cybersecurity- and privacy- supporting capabilities that were demonstrated as part of the 5G Cybersecurity project at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE).
