Resum:
In this article, we uncover flaws and pitfalls of a quantum-based remote memory attestation procedure for Internet of things devices. We also show limitations of quantum memory that suggests the attestation problem for quantum memory is fundamentally different to the attestation problem for classical memory, even when the devices can perform quantum computation. The identified problems are of interest for quantum-based security protocol designers in general, particularly those dealing with corrupt devices. Finally, we make use of the lessons learnt to design a quantum-based attestation system for classical memory with improved communication efficiency and security.
