Property Value

Policy P-04: Attestation evidence is fresh and fully verified
Mode Passive: reads only the files and values you pass to the scan.

What it checks

It passes when:

  • Attestation document signature, chain, and code PCRs verify.

How to fix

  • Verify the COSE_Sign1 signature and the leaf->cabundle->AWS Nitro root chain offline, and pin PCR0/1/2/8 to the released enclave build, before releasing any secret to the enclave.

After the fix, scan again: the check should report PASS.

When it is not assessed

SKIP:

  • No --attestation-doc supplied; skipping check.

ERROR:

  • Could not load the attestation document: …
