Abstract: An example computing device includes a memory accessible at startup of the computing device, a buffer, and a set of instructions. The memory stores a configuration setting that is configurable by the application of a change request. The memory also stores a first public key and a second public key. The buffer stores change requests submitted by a remote entity, including a first change request to make a first setting change and a second change request to make a second setting change.

Abstract: An enclave manager of a network enclave obtains a request to retrieve configuration information and state information corresponding to compute devices and network devices comprising a network enclave. The request specifies a set of parameters of the configuration information and the state information usable to generate a response to the request. The enclave manager evaluates the compute devices, the network devices, and network connections among these devices within the network enclave to obtain the configuration information and the state information. Based on the configuration information and the state information, the enclave manager determines whether the network enclave is trustworthy. Based on the parameters of the request, the enclave manager generates a response indicating a summary that is used to identify the trustworthiness of the network enclave.
