Wow, TCP is a horribly unfortunate acronym collision.

If you're attempting to create a framework that attests the integrity
of systems for use by 'trusted' software, it would (in theory) only be as
secure as its weakest link. Given that... PHP?

How does it intend to attest the OS in a rapidly updating Fedora environment?
Just the kernel + initramfs? An image-based checksum such as what is used in
ChromeOS?
