  • Publication number: 20240111879
    Abstract: Examples herein relate to an interface selectively providing access to a memory region for a work request from an entity by providing selective access to a physical address of the memory region and selective access to a cryptographic key for use by a memory controller to access the memory region. In some examples, providing selective access to a physical address conversion is based on one or more of: validation of a certificate received with the work request and an identifier of the entity being associated with a process with access to the memory region. Access to the memory region can be specified to be one or more of: create, read, update, delete, write, or notify. A memory region can be a page or sub-page sized region. Different access rights can be associated with different sub-portions of the memory region, wherein the access rights comprise one or more of: create, read, update, delete, write, or notify.

  • Patent number: 11936637
    Abstract: Technologies for providing secure utilization of tenant keys include a compute device. The compute device includes circuitry configured to obtain a tenant key. The circuitry is also configured to receive encrypted data associated with a tenant. The encrypted data defines an encrypted image that is executable by the compute device to perform a workload on behalf of the tenant in a virtualized environment. Further, the circuitry is configured to utilize the tenant key to decrypt the encrypted data and execute the workload without exposing the tenant key to a memory that is accessible to another workload associated with another tenant.

  • Patent number: 11856032
    Abstract: Technologies for providing policy-based secure containers for multiple enterprise applications include a client computing device and an enterprise policy server. The client computing device sends device attribute information and a request for access to an enterprise application to the enterprise policy server. The enterprise policy server determines a device trust level based on the device attribute information and a data sensitivity level based on the enterprise application, and sends a security policy to the client computing device based on the device trust level and the data sensitivity level. The client computing device references or creates a secure container for the security policy, adds the enterprise application to the secure container, and enforces the security policy while executing the enterprise application in the secure container. Multiple enterprise applications may be added to each secure container. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11736942
    Abstract: A service coordinating entity device includes communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network, processing circuitry, and a memory device. The processing circuitry is to perform operations to, in response to a request for establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE) in a second access network, retrieve a first Trusted Level Agreement (TLA) including trust attributes associated with the first access network. One or more exchanges of the trust attributes of the first TLA and trust attributes of a second TLA associated with the second access network are performed using a computing service executing on the service coordinating entity. A common TLA with trust attributes associated with communications between the first and second access networks is generated based on the exchanges. Data traffic is routed from the first access network to the UE in the second access network based on the trust attributes of the common TLA.

  • Publication number: 20230045505
    Abstract: Technologies for accelerated orchestration and attestation include multiple edge devices. An edge appliance device performs an attestation process with each of its components to generate component certificates. The edge appliance device generates an appliance certificate that is indicative of the component certificates and a current utilization of the edge appliance device and provides the appliance certificate to a relying party. The relying party may be an edge orchestrator device. The edge orchestrator device receives a workload scheduling request with a service level agreement requirement. The edge orchestrator device verifies the appliance certificate and determines whether the service level agreement requirement is satisfied based on the appliance certificate. If satisfied, the workload is scheduled to the edge appliance device. Attestation and generation of the appliance certificate by the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator of the edge appliance device.

  • Patent number: 11425111
    Abstract: Various approaches for implementing attestation using an attestation token are described. In an edge computing system deployment, an edge computing device includes an attestable feature (e.g., resource, service, entity, property, etc.) which is accessible from use of an attestation token, by the operations of: obtaining a first instance of a token that provides proof of attestation for an accessible feature of the edge computing device, with the token including data to indicate trust level designations for the feature as attested by an attestation provider; receiving, from a prospective user of the feature, a request to use the feature and a second instance of the token, with the second instance of the token originating from the attestation provider; and providing access to the feature based on a verification of the instances of the token, by using the verification to confirm attestation of the trust level designations for the feature.

  • Publication number: 20220200788
    Abstract: Technologies for accelerated key caching in an edge hierarchy include multiple edge appliance devices organized in tiers. An edge appliance device receives a request for a key, such as a private key. The edge appliance device determines whether the key is included in a local key cache and, if not, requests the key from an edge appliance device included in an inner tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may request the key from an edge appliance device included in a peer tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys in the key cache for eviction. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys for pre-fetching. Those functions of the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator such as an FPGA. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
