Attestation Quote
An attestation quote is signed evidence produced by a Trusted Execution Environment. It contains measurements and platform claims that allow a remote verifier to identify the hardware and software environment that generated it.
For Intel SGX and Intel TDX, a quote can include measurements of the enclave or trust domain, security-version information, and application-controlled report data such as a public key or challenge nonce.
Verification
A TEE verifier checks the quote's signature and structure, validates it against current attestation collateral, and applies an application policy to the reported measurements and security status.
A valid quote establishes that the evidence originated from the stated environment. Whether that environment is acceptable still depends on the verifier's policy.
