Qualcomm WES is a suite of trusted services, rooted in hardware, that securely
        connects and manages devices.

It offers the following services:

- Feature licensing enables device features identified by a feature ID and an alias
                feature name. These features are enabled by installing the corresponding feature
                licenses or certificates.
- Device attestation provides cryptographically signed and encrypted data items that
                describe the security state of the device and its software. These data items are
                useful for risk engines and other similar applications.
- Secure provisioning enables the generation and use of cryptographic keys that are
                secured using unique device keys. These keys are used to:
    - Securely provision data to the device post-sale and over-the-air (OTA).
    - Sign data on the device.
