An apparatus and system for remote attestation of a power delivery network is disclosed. Embodiments of the disclosure enable remote attestation of the power delivery network by storing a trusted golden reference waveform in secure memory. The trusted golden reference waveform characterizes a power delivery network in response to a load generated on the power delivery network. A remote cloud server generates a server-generated remote attestation of the power delivery network by receiving an attestation packet from the power delivery network and verifying whether the attestation packet is consistent with an expected power delivery network identity.
