    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. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    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.

    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.
