How can remote attestation enhance trust in IoT networks?

Remote attestation enhances trust in IoT networks by verifying the integrity of connected devices through a process where a device proves its identity and integrity to another entity over a network. This is typically done through cryptographic methods where the device generates a cryptographic signature based on its current state and configuration. The verifying entity can then use this signature to validate that the device has not been tampered with or compromised. This helps ensure that only trusted and authenticated devices are allowed to participate in the network, thereby enhancing overall security and trust in IoT environments.
