Armored Witness: Building a Trusted Notary for Bare Metal.

We are building an Open Source https://transparency.dev/ witness, in collaboration with Google. This project entailed creating new hardware (USB armory LAN with PoE) software (Trusted OS and Applet) leveraging on TamaGo and GoTEE frameworks. This presentation aims to discuss the journey of this project, achievements (such as bare metal Go IRQ handlers…in space!) and results.
