Kernel space measurement

A method comprising:

• generating, with a first device, a nonce;
• writing, with the first device, the nonce to a memory location accessible to a kernel;
• initializing the kernel;
• in response to an end of the initialization of the kernel, measuring a specified kernel space to produce a first result;
• writing the first result to a first memory of a second device;
• writing a location and a size of the specified kernel space to a buffer;
• measuring the buffer including the location and the size of the specified kernel space to produce a buffer measurement result comprising a hash value;
• writing the buffer measurement result to a second memory of the second device;
• requesting a quote from the second device;
• passing, to the first device, the quote including the nonce, the first result from the first memory, and the buffer measurement result from the second memory;
• and
• verifying, by the first device, the buffer measurement result including the hash value.
