A method, system and computer program product for providing an attestation of an operating environment. The method begins with booting, with a secure boot process with attestation, at least one processor with secure processor technology that allows user-level code to allocate private regions of memory which are protected from processes running at higher privilege levels. Next, one or more operating system containers are loaded in a server or a virtual machine. Each of the one or more operating system containers use each of their own process space and network space in order to operate on a single operating system kernel without creating separate virtual machines. If a set of one or more conditions of booting and loading has been satisfied using zero-knowledge verifiable computing then an attestation is sent calculated using a zero-knowledge verifiable computing technique to a second processor-based device.
