+# Lab Name
+One Attestation API
+
+# Short Description
+This lab proposes to create a single API to handle remote attestations.
+Attestations are a crucial mechanism to establish trust in hardware-based trusted execution environments (TEEs).
+Today, multiple attestation mechanisms are available, like SGX-EPID (which is being phased out), SGX-DCAP, TDX-DCAP and SEV-attestation.
+This proposal aims to create a single abstraction for the generation and verification of hardware-based attestations.
+The abstraction can benefit, and avoid redundant implementations in, multiple projects (e.g., Fabric Private Chaincode, Private Data Objects) that use TEEs to enhance software integrity and confidentiality.
+
+# Scope of Lab
+The scope of the lab is to provide tools and support for hardware/software attestations.
+Contributions from the community will help support additional attestation mechanisms and TEEs.
+Initially, we anticipate to integrate this tool in two Hyperledger projects: Fabric Private Chaincode and Private Data Objects.

+Initially, this lab is meant to spin off the attestation API created in/for the Fabric Private Chaincode project.

+
+Recently, the library was extended with DCAP support and partially integrated with the Hyperledger Labs Private Data Objects project.
