Protect Link Attestation For Free

Attestation is a mechanism for software to prove its identity. The goal of attestation is to prove to a remote party that your operating system and application software are intact and trustworthy.

The SafetyNet Attestation API provides a cryptographically-signed attestation, assessing the device's integrity. In order to create the attestation, the API examines the device's software and hardware environment, looking for integrity issues, and comparing it with the reference data for approved Android devices.

To attest means to "declare that something exists or is the case or to certify formally" says ye old Webster's dictionary. A Security Attestation Letter, therefore, is proof, in an official capacity, of your security status.

For example, App Attest can't definitively pinpoint a device with a compromised operating system. Instead, the DeviceCheck services provide information that you can integrate into an overall risk assessment for a given device.

In order to create the attestation, the API examines the device's software and hardware environment, looking for integrity issues, and comparing it with the reference data for approved Android devices. The generated attestation is bound to the nonce that the caller app provides.

Attestation, also called consular Attestation, refers to a consular practice ensuring authenticity of the very last signature or the seal affixed to a document related to the application from a natural person, legal person or other organization.

The Integrity API unifies Google Play anti-abuse features with a collection of integrity signals to help Android app and game developers detect potentially risky and fraudulent traffic. This traffic could come from modified versions of your app or game, untrustworthy devices, or other untrustworthy environments.
