I think we really need an open hardware signing authority for open-source roms like GrapheneOS.

Imagine the outcry. That would go against everything OS stands for, wouldn't it?

OS isn't a co-ordinated movement with a single set of values.

If you are a bank, you want to have an authority that guarantees OS hardware signing of a smart phone.

But this authority could be a bunch of cool people like Letsencrypt, instead of only Google.

GrapheneOS does have their own device attestation sdk

We don't need a signing authority. Those "attestations" are are anti-user security theater. We need to stop requiring apps for everything. The internet was designed to be used in a browser that can run anywhere. 2FA can be done with simple texts or phone calls.
