Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product to protect accelerators from malicious network functions. One embodiment of the method may comprise categorizing an application runtime into a plurality of operational phases, and enforcing one of a plurality of phase-specific security restrictions at each of the plurality of operational phases. The method may further comprise analyzing the application runtime to automatically generate the plurality of phase-specific security restrictions.

Abstract: Embodiments are related to providing tunnel aggregation based optimization in a multi-cloud architecture. The optimization includes receiving packets to be sent over a communication network and determining the packets that have a predefined traffic class. The optimization includes combining the packets having the predefined traffic class into an aggregated packet, the aggregated packet including an aggregated packet header. The optimization includes transmitting the aggregated packet over the communication network.

Abstract: A processor may collect process information associated with a peer node of a self-auditing blockchain. The processor may generate an imprint from the process information. The processor may compare the imprint from the peer node to an imprint consensus to detect an error. The error may indicate that the peer node has been compromised.

Abstract: A blockchain configuration may be used to store a distributed ledger for information security and accessibility. One example method of operation may include one or more of logging an asset in a blockchain, identifying a sub-asset linked to the asset, creating a use constraint for the sub-asset, logging the use constraint associated with the sub-asset, and during an access attempt of the sub-asset, prohibiting access to the sub-asset based on the use constraint.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving, via a blockchain peer of a blockchain network, a request to execute chaincode of a blockchain of the blockchain network from a client application, offloading one or more of chaincode operations of the request to hardware on a network switch via a network path between the blockchain peer and the network switch, receiving execution results of the offloaded one or more chaincode operations from the network switch via the network path, and forwarding the execution results received from the network switch to the client application.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of sending, by a node A, a signed transaction TrA to a node B to update a token TKNA on a ledger of a blockchain A, submitting, by the node A, the TrA signed by the node B to the blockchain A, receiving from the node B a signed transaction TrB to create a token TKNB on a ledger of a blockchain B, sending the TrB signed by the node A to the node B to be submitted to the blockchain B, and activating, by the node A, the TrA to update the TKNA by submission of a secret value (x) signed by a private key of the node A to the blockchain A and by submission of a secret value (x) to the blockchain B to activate TKNB.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of creating, via chaincode, a link between a non-participant system and a data field stored on a private blockchain, where the data field comprises participant data of the private blockchain, detecting a change in a value of the participant data based on a read operation from the data field stored on the private blockchain, generating a notification of the changed value of the participant data, and transmitting the notification to the non-participant system based on the link between the non-participant system and the data field.

Abstract: A blockchain configuration may be used to store smart contracts. One example method of operation may include one or more of identifying a metric configuration associated with a smart contract stored in a blockchain, logging an event which is part of the metric configuration, determining whether the event supports requirements of the smart contract, determining whether a smart contract policy in the smart contract matches a system policy, and updating the smart contract on the blockchain when the requirements of the smart contract are supported by the event and the smart contract policy matches the system policy.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of connecting, by a notifier node, to a notifier service node configured to designate the notifier node, receiving, by the notifier node, a notification from the notifier service node to read a block from a ledger of a blockchain, applying, by the notifier node, a function on the block to determine if the notifier node is a designated notifier for at least one submitted transaction in the block, and, in response to a determination that the notifier is the designated notifier, sending, by the notifier node, a push notification to user nodes involved in a transaction associated with the block.
