An attestation system is designed to verify and attest to the identity of a device or user, ensuring that they are authorized to access a particular system or perform a specific action.
This is achieved through the use of cryptographic signatures and certificates, which provide a secure and tamper-proof method for verifying the authenticity of information.
In contrast, a monitoring system is designed to continuously monitor the behavior and performance of a particular system or process.
This helps to detect and identify any issues or anomalies that may arise, allowing for quick resolution and minimizing the risk of downtime or system failure.
