Abstract: A trusted container management system provides process supervision, such as for software or other executable processes. In an embodiment, a particular edge controller can include a Rich Execution Environment (REE) and a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). In an example, an application executes in a container of the REE and generates communication data and a signature identifier. A DeftT publication is generated and includes the communication data. An untrusted validator in the REE evaluates the DeftT publication according to a trust rule associated with the communication data and publishes the DeftT publication. A secure validator executing in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) further evaluates the DeftT publication. The further evaluation can include subscribing to the certificate identified by the signature identifier, determining the public key and the role of the certificate, and validating the DeftT publication based on the public key.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to secure wireless industrial mesh networking. An example wireless mesh network includes one or more wirelessly connected gateways communicatively coupled to a plurality of sensors and including a floating gateway and a backhaul gateway. Operations are performed in response to (1) receiving, at the backhaul gateway, a collection state query and (2) receiving, at the backhaul gateway and via at least one of a floating gateway and a sensor, sensor data. The operations can include generating, by the backhaul gateway, a collection publication instruction including sensor data; transmitting, by the backhaul gateway, the collection publication instruction to the requesting system; and synchronizing, by the backhaul gateway, the sensor data with the wirelessly connected floating gateway.
