A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: determining, for each pair of HCI systems where each pair includes a first HCI system coupled to another HCI system, a federation relationship setting that corresponds to each pair. The federation relationship settings are used to control a flow of data, as well as to control a flow of workload scheduling, between the first HCI system and the other HCI systems in the respective pairs. Moreover, determining a federation relationship setting that corresponds to a pair includes: determining whether a risk score which corresponds to the pair is outside a predetermined range. In response to determining that the risk score is outside the predetermined range, a restrictive federation relationship setting is assigned to the pair, and in response to determining that the risk score is not outside the predetermined range, a permissive federation relationship setting is assigned to the pair.

Technologies are described for performing firmware attestation on system reset. When a managed computing system is reset, a baseboard management controller (“BMC”) generates a notification that the managed computing system has been reset and transmits the notification to an event listener executing in a management system by way of an out-of-band (“OOB”) network. The event listener receives the notification that the managed computing system has been reset and, in turn, causes a security manager executing in the management system to transmit a request for firmware attestation data to a platform security agent executing on the managed computing system. The security manager receives the firmware attestation data from the platform security agent by way of an in-band network and stores the firmware attestation data in a database for exposure to other program components for use in evaluating the trustworthiness of the firmware executing on the managed computing system.

Self-provisioning a computer system is illustrated. Code in a secure base activation image implements an auto-connection service at the computer system. The auto-connection service attempts to perform a local activation by attempting to determine that a private port is open and using the private port, initiating an identification and attestation process with an activation service. The auto-connection service performs a remote activation by determining that the private port is closed, defaulting activation to a public port, and using the public port, initiating an identification and attestation process with the activation service. Code in the base activation image implements service(s) which execute an identification process, using a cryptographically created identifier included in the base activation image, with the activation service to confirm an identity of the computer system, confirming system integrity of the computer system with the activation service, unlocking the computer system for load installation.

An image of at least a portion of a user during enrollment to a biometric identification system is acquired and processed with a first model to determine a first embedding that is representative of features in that image in a first embedding space. The first embedding may be stored for later comparison to identify the user, while the image is not stored. A second model that uses a second embedding space may be later developed. A transformer is trained to accept as input an embedding from the first model and produce as output an embedding consistent with the second embedding space. The previously stored first embedding may be converted to a second embedding in a second embedding space using the transformer. As a result, new embedding models may be implemented without requiring storage of user images for later reprocessing with the new models or requiring re-enrollment by users.
