Missing from the document is a way of validating the template data. For example, in the original case of file measurements, the template data contains the file hash, which can be recalculated or verified against an allow list. Other than re-calculating the template data digest based on the template data, and verifying it against the template data digest in the measurement list, would an attestation server be able to verify the template data itself? thanks, Mimi
