1. A computer-implemented sensor method executed by a processor comprising: receiving sensor readings from sensors of a device, the device including a trust component that provides trust information which is applied to the sensor readings to create trustworthy readings for communication to a consuming application; when the trust component includes a virtualization component that virtualizes the sensors and facilitates interaction with the sensors by the consuming application: signing the sensor readings with the trust information via a virtual machine within the device; and independent of software configuration of the device, when the trust component includes a central hardware trust module that comprises a secure counter: obtaining a counter value from the secure counter; signing the sensor readings and the obtained counter value at the sensors using the trust information; and registering the device and the sensors with a remote service to associate the sensors with the device after signing the sensor readings and the obtained counter value.
