Abstract: Embodiments herein may include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system. A MEC orchestrator is to receive a request for service that includes a workload from a user agent; and facilitate formation of a SLA for servicing the workload. To facilitate the formation of the SLA includes to obtain, via a decentralized contracting system, bids from a plurality of service providers to respectively service a plurality of functions or tasks of the workload. The MEC orchestrator is also to translate the workload into the plurality of functions or tasks, and schedule servicing of the functions of tasks with the one or more service providers, including one or more edge computing devices, in accordance with the SLA. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to decentralized proof of creation. According to one embodiment, a blockchain and smart contracts, including a social decentralized identifier (DID) contract and multiple creator contracts owned and controlled by respective creators, are maintained by a proof of creation facilitator service. A first social DID for a creator of a digital artifact is created on the blockchain via the social DID contract. Based at least in part on the first social DID, decentralized proof of creation (e.g., a non-fungible token (NFT)) for the digital artifact is created on the blockchain via a creator contract of the multiple creator contracts deployed by or on behalf of the creator.

Abstract: Technologies for one-tap connection and synchronization with a device in a non-active state are disclosed. When a user brings a first device enabled for Near Field Communication (NFC) to close proximity of a second NFC-enabled device when the second device is in a non-active state, the second device may be awakened, or placed in an active state, for a period of time to perform one or more operations before returning to the non-active state. These operations include, for example, allowing the first device to access data stored in the second device and synchronizing one or more applications installed on the second device with remote servers.

Abstract: Methods and devices for NFC-tap file encryption, decryption and access via Near Field Communication (NFC) are disclosed. A user can select an unencrypted file stored in a computing device for encryption. Upon encryption, the file name of the selected file and the encryption key used to encrypt the selected file are transmitted to an NFC-enabled wireless device for storage. The user can select an encrypted file stored in the computing device for access. As the user taps the computing device with the wireless device, the file name of the selected file is transmitted to the wireless device, which in turn transmits a decryption key for decrypting the selected file to the computing device. The computing device decrypts the selected file with the decryption key. The user can now access the decrypted file.
