Welcome to System Transparency!

Getting Started

System transparency is aimed at facilitating trust for the components of a system by giving every server a unique identity, limiting the attack surface and mutable state in the firmware and allowing both owners and users to verify all software running on a platform starting from the first instruction executed after power on. System Transparency accomplishes these goals by the seven principles listed in the manifest.
