Shameless plug for the article I wrote 1 year ago now, "Remote Attestation Is Coming Back," which warned that this was coming to the web and had quite a discussion about that idea:

Thank you for writing this. Remote attestation for consumer software is such a disturbing idea.

In the past the main adversarial pressure has been exploiting security vulnerabilities ("jailbreaking"), but the software industry is getting its act together re that.

I remember this article! And of course, nothing has improved. It's ironic that in 1992, software publishers proclaimed that piracy would be the end of the computer age in the classic "Don't Copy That Floppy!" campaign. To me, it seems like nearly the opposite thing is going to end the computer age: integrity checking. Most computers are toys that we lease from companies that are bigger and more influential than governments, and using it in ways they don't like is against the law.
