1. A method of operating a wireless communication system to attest to user data received from a wireless user device, the method comprising:
the wireless user device executing an operating system in trusted processing circuitry in response to device power-up;
the wireless user device generating the user data;
the wireless user device wirelessly receiving satellite communication signals from satellites, determining satellite signal metrics for the satellite communication signals, and determining a geographic location of the wireless user device based on the satellite communication signals;
the wireless user device executing a network application in the trusted processing circuitry and the network application transferring the user data, the geographic location, and the satellite signal metrics; and
one or more network elements receiving the user data, the geographic location, and the satellite signal metrics transferred by the wireless user device, determining known satellite metrics for the geographic location, comparing the satellite signal metrics to the known satellite metrics, generating an attestation score for the user data based on the satellite metric comparison, and storing the user data, the geographic location, and the attestation score for the user data, wherein comparing the satellite signal metrics to the known satellite metrics to generate the attestation score comprises comparing at least one of communication satellite received power levels and communication satellite carrier-to-noise density ratios levels to generate the attestation score.
