    Abstract: Technologies for proving packet transit through uncompromised nodes are provided. An example method can include receiving a packet including one or more metadata elements generated based on security measurements from a plurality of nodes along a path of the packet; determining a validity of the one or more metadata elements based on a comparison of one or more values in the one or more metadata elements with one or more expected values calculated for the one or more metadata elements, one or more signatures in the one or more metadata elements, and/or timing information associated with the one or more metadata elements; and based on the one or more metadata elements, determining whether the packet traversed any compromised nodes along the path of the packet.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for authenticating extensible authentication protocol (EAP) messages include receiving, at a first node, EAP messages from a second node. The first node and the second node including network devices and the EAP messages can be based on Diameter protocol or other. The first node can obtain attestation information from one or more EAP messages to determine whether the second node is authentic and trustworthy based on the attestation information. The EAP messages can include a Capabilities Exchange Request (CER) or a Capabilities Exchange Answer (CEA) whose fields or combination of fields can include the attestation information. The EAP messages can also include a Trust Information Request (TIR) or a Trust Information Answer (TIA) which include the authentication information. The attestation information can include Proof of Integrity based on a hardware fingerprint, device identifier, or Canary Stamp.

    Abstract: At a networking device, a method includes obtaining, according to a predefined protocol, a first plurality of attestation vectors from a corresponding plurality of candidate next-hop nodes. Each of the plurality of candidate next-hop nodes is included within a respective route between a particular node and a destination node. The method further includes determining a plurality of confidence scores. Each of the plurality of confidence scores is based on a comparison between a corresponding one of the first plurality of attestation vectors and a trusted image vector. The method further includes selecting, from the plurality of confidence scores, a particular confidence score that satisfies one or more selection criteria. Each of the particular confidence score is associated with a particular candidate next-hop node of the plurality of candidate next-hop nodes. The method further includes directing, to the particular candidate next-hop node, a data packet destined for the destination node.

    Abstract: Techniques related to efficient transport of data encoded using multiple templates are disclosed. A sending computing device sends an internet message including internet message segments toward a receiving computing device. The internet message stores information about a data object that includes property types corresponding to property values. A portion of the data object includes multiple instances of a particular property type, and each instance corresponds to a property value. The internet message segments store the property values according to multiple templates, and each internet message segment corresponds to a template. Among the multiple templates is a particular template for the portion of the data object that includes the multiple instances of the particular property type. The multiple templates include fields that correspond to field identifiers. Based on a property-type-to-field-identifier mapping, a corresponding property type can be determined for each property value that is stored in the internet message segments.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for selectively placing and maintaining sensitive workloads in subsystems that achieve a minimum level of trustworthiness. An example method includes identifying at least one trustworthiness requirement associated with an application and transmitting, to a first subsystem, a request for at least one trustworthiness characteristic of the first subsystem and at least one second subsystem connected to the first subsystem. A response indicating the at least one trustworthiness characteristic is received from the first subsystem. The example method further includes determining that the at least one trustworthiness characteristic satisfies the at least one trustworthiness requirement; and causing the application to operate on a mesh comprising the first subsystem and the at least one second subsystem.
