Abstract: Systems, devices, and method for managing data processing systems are disclosed. The data processing systems may be capable of operating in various manners. To manage the data processing systems, onboarding processes may be performed to conform the operation of the data processing systems to meet the expectations of owners of the data processing systems. To facilitate onboarding, onboarding payloads may be generated in a domain in which data necessary for onboarding is available. The onboarding payloads may be transferred to data processing systems in domains in which the necessary data is not available to onboard the data processing systems.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage operation of the data processing systems, onboarding processes may be performed to conform the operation of the data processing systems to meet the expectations of owners of the data processing systems. During onboarding, keys usable to verify subsequently issued commands may be obtained by the data processing systems. The data processing systems may perform verifications processes for issued commands that rely on a root of trust established with the keys rather than identifies of entities that may issue the commands for command verification.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for managing data processing systems are disclosed. The data processing systems may be capable of operating in various manners. To manage the data processing systems, onboarding processes may be performed to conform the operation of the data processing systems to meet the expectations of owners of the data processing systems. To manage security policies of the data processing systems during onboarding, ownership vouchers may be generated to provide data necessary for onboarding that defines security policies, hardware policies, and ownership of the data processing systems. The ownership voucher may be deployed to data processing systems during onboarding to reduce the likelihood of undesired use and/or interactions with the data processing systems.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage the operation of data processing systems, diagnostic data may be collected. The diagnostic data may include information regarding the operation of the data processing systems usable to diagnose issues impacting the operation of the data processing systems. The diagnostic data may also include sensitive data that may be undesirable to disclose to third parties. To manage risk associated with distribution of the diagnostic data, the diagnostic data may be subjected to partial redaction and/or dual encryption to manage access to the sensitive data included therein. By redacting and/or dual encrypting portions of the sensitive data, access to the sensitive data after the diagnostic data is distributed may be prevented and/or limited to those parties to which an operator of a data processing system elects to provide decryption data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage the operation of data processing systems, a security framework may be enforced. The security framework may use diverse cryptographic operations and multiple portions of cryptographic data to reduce the impact of integrity failures of cryptographic operations. To facilitate use of diverse cryptographic operations, a cryptographic data package that includes multiple portions of cryptographic data usable with different diverse cryptographic operations may be provided. A user or entity assigned a cryptographic data package may not need to independently manage different portions of cryptographic data for use with the different diverse cryptographic operations.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for managing operations of data processing systems to prevent implementation of malicious configurations. An example method includes constructing, by a data processing system, a validated change log and reconstructing known good configurations by replaying the validated configuration changes from the validated change log. The example method further includes making a determination, by the data processing system, regarding whether the source of a configuration change request has enough privilege to make the configuration request, and validating the request should the source have enough privilege.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing network provisioning for far edge devices are disclosed. New devices may be onboarded to a network at the far edge to provide computer-implemented services. Upon delivery to the far edge, the new devices may lack IP network configuration, which may be required to obtain provisioning data used to complete the onboarding process. That is, the new devices may be unable to access provisioning data until IP-based communications are established with a provisioning server. However, IP network configuration of the new devices may fail (e.g., when local DHCP servers fail to provide network configuration information), preventing initiation of the onboarding process. Thus, a remote service console may be implemented to manage network provisioning (e.g., when DHCP methods fail). The service console may be hosted by a service device and may use raw-socket MAC address-based communications to manage the IP network configuration of the new devices.
