Patent number: 10230765Abstract: Examples may include techniques to securely provision, configure, and de-provision virtual network functions for a software defined network or a cloud infrastructure elements. A policy for a virtual network function may be received, at a secure execution partition of circuitry, and the virtual network function configured to implement the policy by the secure execution partition of the circuitry. The secure execution partition may connect to the virtual network function through a virtual switch and may cause the virtual network function to implement a network function based on the policy.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kapil Sood, Manuel Nedbal, Thomas M.

Patent number: 10091063Abstract: Technologies to monitor and manage platform, device, processor and power characteristics throughout a system utilizing a remote entity such as controller node. By remotely monitoring and managing system operation and performance over time, future system performance requirements may be anticipated, allowing system parameters to be adjusted proactively in a more coordinated way. The controller node may monitor, control and predict traffic flows in the system and provide performance modification instructions to any of the computer nodes and a network switch to better optimize performance. The target systems collaborate with the controller node by respectively monitoring internal resources, such as resource availability and performance requirements to provide necessary resources for optimizing operating parameters of the system.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander W.

Publication number: 20170093677Abstract: Methods and apparatus to securely measure quality of service end to end in a network. First and second endpoints are configured to detect packets marked for QoS measurements, associate a timestamp using a secure clock with such marked packets, and report the timestamp along with packet identifying metadata to an external monitor. The external monitor uses the packet identifying metadata to match up timestamps and calculates a QoS measurement corresponding to the latency incurred by the packet when traversing a packet-processing path between the first and second endpoints. The endpoints may be implemented in physical devices, such as Ethernet controllers and physical switches, as well as virtual, software-defined components including virtual switches.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Brian J.

Publication number: 20160344729Abstract: Technologies for geolocation attestation of computing devices in a network path include a verification device to generate a secure trace packet such that the secure trace packet includes a timestamp that corresponds with a departure time of the secure trace packet from the verification device. The computing device transmits the secure trace packet to a computing device in the network path. The network path identifies one or more intermediate devices through which to communicate the secure trace packet from the verification device to a target computing device. The computing device verifies a signature of a cryptographically-signed secure trace packet received by the verification computing device from the computing device and determines whether a sub-path of the network path is authorized based on the cryptographically-signed secure trace packet and reference network path data, which indicates a maximum allowed geographical distance between two computing devices in the network path.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2015Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Thomas M.

Patent number: 9268712Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing access to a storage device of a computer platform. In an embodiment, an agent executing on the platform may be registered for access to the storage device, the agent being allocated a memory space by a host operating system of the platform. Registration of the agent may result in a location in the allocated memory space being mapped to a location in the storage device. In another embodiment, the agent may write to the location in the allocated memory space to request access to the storage device, wherein the request is independent of any system call to the host OS which describes the requested access.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Asher M.
