Pseudonymous remote attestation utilizing a chain-of-trust

At least one device to certify identity using pseudonymous remote attestation, comprising:

• at least one processing module to:
• assign at least pseudonymous identifier data and a shared symmetric key to a prover device;
• generate a pseudonymous public key corresponding to the prover device based at least on the shared symmetric key;
• and
• provide the pseudonymous identifier data and pseudonymous public key to a verifier device for use in authenticating the prover device.

A method for pseudonymous remote attestation, comprising:

• initializing a device;
• loading code modules in the device;
• generating a chain-of-trust in the device based at least on a shared symmetric key, the chain-of-trust including keys corresponding to each of the loaded code modules;
• generating a pseudonymous public key and a pseudonymous private key based on at least one key in the chain of trust;
• and
• causing a message to be transmitted to at least a verifier device, the message including at least pseudonymous identifier data and the public pseudonymous key.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon, individually or in combination, instructions for pseudonymous remote attestation that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• initialize a device;
• load code modules in the device;
• generate a chain-of-trust in the device based at least on a shared symmetric key, the chain-of-trust including keys corresponding to each of the loaded code modules;
• generate a pseudonymous public key and a pseudonymous private key based on at least one key in the chain of trust;
• and
• cause a message to be transmitted to at least a verifier device, the message including at least pseudonymous identifier data and the public pseudonymous key.
