+
+A schema for the attestation server's database entries might look like:
+
+```JSON
+{
+  "EKpub": "<EKpub>",
+  "hostname": "<hostname>",
+  "EKcert": "<EKcert in PEM, if available>",
+  "previous_firmware_profile": "FWProfile0",
+  "current_firmware_profiles": ["FWProfile1", "FWProfile2", "..."],
+  "previous_operating_system_profiles": "OSProfile0",
+  "current_operating_system_profiles": ["OSProfile1", "OSProfile2", "..."],
+  "previous_PCRs": "<...>",
+  "proposed_PCRs": "<...>",
+  "ak_cert_template": "<AKCertTemplate>",
+  "secrets": "<secrets>",
+  "resetCount": "<resetCount value from last quote>"
+}
+```
+
+The attestation server's database should have two lookup keys:
+
+ - EKpub
+ - hostname
+
+The attestation server's database's entry for any client should provide,
+de minimis:
+
+ - a way to validate the root of trust measurements in the client's
+   quoted PCRs, for which two methods are possible:
+    - save the PCRs quoted last as the ones expected next time
+    - or, name profiles for validating firmware RTM PCRs and profiles
+      for validating operating system RTM PCRs
+
+A profile for validating PCRs should contain a set of expected extension
+values for each of a set of PCRs.  The attestation server can then check
+that the eventlog submitted by the client lists exactly those extension
+values and no others.  PCR extension order in the eventlog probably
+doesn't matter here.  If multiple profiles are named, then one of those
+must match -- this allows for upgrades and downgrades.
+
+```JSON
+{
+  "profile_name":"SomeProfile",
+  "values":[
+    {
+      "PCR":0,
+      "values":["aaaaaaa","bbbbbb","..."]
+    },
+    {
+      "PCR":1,
+      "values":["ccccccc","dddddd","..."]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Using the PCR values from the previous attestation makes upgrades
+tricky, probably requiring an authenticated and authorized administrator
+to bless new PCR values after an upgrade.  A client that presents a PCR
+quote that does not match the previous one would cause the
+`proposed_PCRs` field to be updated but otherwise could not continue,
+then an administrator would confirm that the client just did a
+firmware/OS upgrade and if so replace the `previous_PCRs` with the
+`proposed_PCRs`, then the client could attempt attestation again.
+
+## Dealing with Secrets
+
+An attestation server might want to return storage/filesystem decryption
+key-encryption-keys to a client.  But one might not want to store those
+keys in the clear on the attestation server.  As well, one might want a
+break-glass way to recover those secrets.
+
+For break-glass recover, the simplest thing to do is to store
+`Encrypt_backupKey({EKpub, hostname, secrets})`, where `backupKey` is an
+asymmetric key whose private key is stored offline (e.g., in a safe, or
+in an offline HSM).  To break the glass and recover the key, just bring
+the ciphertext to the offline system where the private backup key is
+kept, decrypt it, and then use the secrets manually to recover the
+affected system.
+
+Here are some ideas for how to make an attestation client depend on the
+attestation server giving it keys needed to continue booting after
+successful attestation:
+
+ - Store `TPM2_MakeCredential(EKpub, someObjectName, key0), Encrypt_key0(secrets)`.
+
+   In this mode the server sends the client the stored data, then client
+   gets to recreate `someObject` (possibly by loading a saved object) on
+   its TPM so that the corresponding call to `TPM2_ActivateCredential()`
+   can succeed, then the client recovers `key0` and decrypts the
+   encrypted secrets.  Here `someObject` can be trivial and need only
+   exist to make the `{Make,Activate}Credential` machinery work.
+
+   TPM replacement and/or migration of a host from one physical system
+   to another can be implemented by learning the new system's TPM's
+   EKpub and using the offline `backupKey` to compute
+   `TPM2_MakeCredential(EKpub_new, someObjectName, key0)` and update the
+   host's entry.
+
+ - Store a secret value that will be extended into an application PCR
+   that is used as a policy PCR for unsealing a persistent object stored
+   on the client's TPM.
+
+   In this mode the server sends the client the secret PCR extension
+   value, and the client uses it to extend a PCR such that it can then
+   unseal the real storage / filesystem decryption keys.
+
+ - A hybrid of the previous two options, where the server stores a
+   secret PCR extension value wrapped with `TPM2_MakeCredential()`.

+ - `TPMI_DH_OBJECT sigHandle` (handle for an AK)
+ - `TPM2B_DATA qualifyingData` (extra data)
+ - `TPMT_SIG_SCHEME inScheme` ("signing scheme to use if the schemefor signHandleis `TPM_ALG_NULL`")
+ - `TPML_PCR_SELECTION PCRselect` (set of PCRs to quote)
+
+## Outputs (success case)
+
+ - `TPM2B_ATTEST quoted`
+ - `TPMT_SIGNATURE signature`
+
+Where `TPM2B_ATTEST` is basically a `TPMS_ATTEST`, which contains the
+following fields:
+
+ - `TPM_GENERATED magic`
+ - `TPMI_ST_ATTEST type`
+ - `TPM2B_NAME signer` (name of AK)
+ - `TPM2B_DATA extraData` ("external information supplied by caller")
+ - `TPMS_CLOCK_INFO clockInfo` ("Clock, resetCount, restartCount, and Safe")
+ - `UINT64 firmwareVersion`
+ - `TPMU_ATTEST attested`, a discriminated union with the
+   `TPMS_QUOTE_INFO` arm (indicated by the `TPM_ST_ATTEST_QUOTE`
+   discriminant value), which contains:
+    - `TPML_PCR_SELECTION pcrSelect` (the set of PCRs digested by `pcrDigest`)
+    - `TPM2B_DIGEST pcrDigest` (the digest of the PCRs indicated by `pcrSelect`)
