Morphology
The phrase is compositionally straightforward: it denotes a service that provides attestations (formal evidence). A B1 learner who knows 'attestation' as a formal provision of evidence and 'service' as something provided (often software) can infer that this is a service that issues attestations, even if they would miss technical cryptographic details.
Etymology
Attestation service in computers is like a digital seal or stamp that proves a machine is honest. Imagine a device sending a sealed note with a stamp saying it is 'safe', so the service gives a 'proof' that the device is in the right state and follows the rules.
