    Abstract: The present technology discloses methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for receiving, by a relying node in an optical transport network environment, attestation information in a trail trace identifier of an optical unit from an attester node in the optical transport network environment; verifying a trustworthiness of the attester node by identifying a level of trust of the attester node from the attestation information; and controlling network service access of the attester node through the relying node in the network environment based on the level of trust of the attester node identified from the attestation information.

    Abstract: An enclave manager of a network enclave obtains a request to retrieve configuration information and state information corresponding to compute devices and network devices comprising a network enclave. The request specifies a set of parameters of the configuration information and the state information usable to generate a response to the request. The enclave manager evaluates the compute devices, the network devices, and network connections among these devices within the network enclave to obtain the configuration information and the state information. Based on the configuration information and the state information, the enclave manager determines whether the network enclave is trustworthy. Based on the parameters of the request, the enclave manager generates a response indicating a summary that is used to identify the trustworthiness of the network enclave.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for discovering trustworthy devices through attestation and authenticating devices through mutual attestation. A relying node in a network environment can receive attestation information from an attester node in the network environment as part of a unidirectional push of information from the attester node according to a unidirectional link layer communication scheme. A trustworthiness of the attester node can be verified by identifying a level of trust of the attester node from the attestation information. Further, network service access of the attester node through the relying node in the network environment can be controlled based on the level of trust of the attester node identified from the attestation information.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for measurement of trustworthiness of network devices prior to their configuration and deployment in a network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for pre-configuration of network devices includes receiving, at a dynamic host configuration server, a first request from a network device for configuration data, the configuration data including at least an IP address; sending, by the dynamic host configuration server, a second request to the network device for attestation information; verifying, by the dynamic host configuration server, the network device based on the attestation information; and assigning, by the dynamic host configuration server, the configuration data to the network device upon verifying the network device.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for evaluation of trustworthiness of network devices are proposed. In one aspect, a first network device can determine a first determine a first probability of a security compromise of a second network device based on visible indicators. The first network device can also determine a second probability of the security compromise of the second device based on invisible indicators. The first network device also determines a trust degradation score for the second network device and establishes, based on the trust degradation score, a specified type of communication session with the second network device.

    Abstract: Technologies for attestation techniques, systems, and methods to confirm the integrity of a device for establishing and/or maintaining a trustworthy encrypted network session. An example method can include sending, via a server and using a cryptographic security protocol, a message associated with establishing an encrypted network session; receiving a response from a client device; identifying a level of trust of the client device based on the response; determining whether to perform a next step in the cryptographic security protocol based on the level of trust, wherein the cryptographic security protocol comprises at least one of a Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, a Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, and an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) protocol.
