  "account": "The Intel TDX quote, captured on 17 September 2026, consists of several key fields that provide specific information about the trust domain and the platform. The quote has a 48-byte header, which includes the version number, key type, and TEE type. In this case, the version is 4, the key type is 2 (ECDSA P-256), and the TEE type is 0x81 (TDX). Following the header is a 584-byte TD report, which contains measurements of the platform and the guest. The final part of the quote is the signature data, consisting of the quote signature, attestation key, Quoting Enclave report, and the platform's certificate chain. All of these fields are essential in verifying the integrity and security of the VM running on the platform.",
  "summary": "Originally published on voltagegpu.com , where the bundle and every raw file are linked. Key takeaways Every value below comes from one public quote, checked with voltage-verify 0.2.2. Six things matter to a tenant: MRTD, RTMR0 to RTMR3, REPORTDATA, the TD attributes, the TCB status and the certificate chain. Each proves something narrow. None shows that the VM runs software you trust.…",
