Abstract: A disclosed edge computing platform includes an edge orchestrator (EO) and one or more distributed endpoints. The EO includes an edge proxy, an edge control plane resource, and a service mesh. The service mesh includes a plurality of services, each of which is paired with a corresponding Envoy proxy. The edge proxy communicatively couples the service mesh to a mesh communication tunnel. The edge control plane resource is configured to enable secure routing based on edge estate data maintained in an external store and ownership authorization data in accordance with a suitable authentication technology (e.g. FDO). Each distributed endpoint includes a downstream connectivity module (DCM) including a DCM proxy coupling the distributed endpoint to the mesh communication tunnel. The distributed endpoints may include edge compute endpoints and external compute fabrics. Disclosed teachings enable secure service-to-service communication across the entire edge estate irrespective of types and location of services.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for comparing multi-level data structures using commutative digesting for unordered data collections. One method comprises obtaining two multi-level data structures, wherein at least one multi-level data structure comprises an unordered data collection; determining a data structure digest value for each the two multi-level data structures by accumulating a data element digest value for each data element of the respective multi-level data structure, wherein a data element digest value for a given data element comprising an unordered data collection is determined using a commutative accumulator function; and evaluating a similarity of the two multi-level data structures by comparing the respective data structure digest values. A data element digest value for a given data element comprising an ordered data collection can be determined using a noncommutative accumulator function that aggregates a digest value for each data element using a noncommutative operation.
