  • Publication number: 20230333824
    Abstract: Attestation of operations by tool chains is described. An example of a storage medium includes instructions for receiving source code for processing of a secure workload of a tenant; selecting at least a first compute node to provide computation for the workload; processing the source code by an attestable tool chain to generate machine code for the first compute node, including performing one or more conversions of the source code by one or more convertors to generate converted code and generating an attestation associated with each code conversion, and receiving machine code for the first compute node and generating an attestation associated with the first compute node; and providing each of the attestations from the first stage and the second stage for verification.

  • Publication number: 20230274034
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-dimensional attestations for a software application. A multi-dimensional attestation is generated for at least one component of the software application. The multi-dimensional attestation includes a signed attestation for the at least one component and an attestation reference to at least one other related component. A verifier obtains multi-dimensional attestations for the components of the software application and obtains the signed attestation for the related components of the software application based on the attestation reference and verifies integrity of at least part of the software application based on the obtained signed attestations.

  • Publication number: 20220121470
    Abstract: In one embodiment, metadata associated with deployment of a container within an orchestration environment includes information indicating security preferences for deployment of the container within the orchestration environment, information indicating a level of communications between the container and other containers, and/or information indicating effects of execution of the container with respect to other containers. The metadata is used to select a particular node of a plurality of nodes within the orchestration environment on which to deploy the container based on the metadata.
