# Attestation Verification Commands

## verify quote

Verifies the validity of an attestation quote

**Usage:** 

```
secretvm-cli verify quote --quote-file  <file with quote> 
```

**Description:**\
The command verifies the given quote and returns the parsed quote and all its fields

## verify workload

Verifies the validity of an attestation quote and whether the goven docker-compose file matches the attestation. If successful, proves that the machine is indeed running the given docker-compose file.

**Usage:**

```
secretvm-cli verify workload --quote-file <quote.txt> \--docker-compose <compose.yaml>
```

**Description:**\
Verifies that the given docker-compose file matches the attestation, i.e. that the confidential VM that provided the attestation is actually running the expected workload.

The command returns the parseed quote an additional workloadResults object with the following fields:

```
"workloadResult": {
    "status": "<success|failure>",
    "message": "Docker workload matches attestation",
    "vm_type": "<small|medium|large etc.>",
    "artifacts_ver": "v0.0.25",
    "environment": <prod or dev>,
    "rtmr3": "<value of RTMR3",
    "dockerFilesSha256Used": "<hash of docker files archive if present",
    "arfifactsLink": "<link to the VM artifacts>"
}
```

## verify proof-of-cloud

Verifies if a given machine is present in the ProofOfCloud registry (see [www.proofofcloud.org](https://www.proofofcloud.org))

**Usage:**

```
secretvm-cli verify proof-of-cloud --quote-file <quote.txt> 
```

**Description:**\
The command verifies that the given attestation quote is valid, retrieves the unique MachineID from the quote and checks if the machine is registered with ProofOfCloud.\
The command returns the following structure:

```
{
 "status":"success",
  "result":{
      "verified":true,
      "proof_of_cloud":true,
      "origin":"scrt",
       "machine_id":"5ba771ce30cf85428d90dc28ef8bd121"
  }
}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/secretvm-confidential-virtual-machines/secretvm-cli/attestation-verification-commands.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
