    Abstract: A remote attestation system for a computer network includes an attestation operations subsystem configured to manage attestation procedures for the remote attestation system, and an attestation server pool including a plurality of attestation servers. The plurality of attestation servers is configured to perform attestation of at least one host in a data center. The system further includes an attestation state database configured to store a state of attestation of the at least one host, an attestation policy database configured to store at least one operator policy of the computer network, and an end-user service portal configured to provide access to the remote attestation system by users of the computer network.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enabling public key infrastructure (PKI) in the generic could environment and the network function virtualization (NFV) environment. A host device may receive, from an orchestrator of a computer network environment, an indication of a workload to be executed by a virtual machine (VM) hosted on the host device, where the indication includes an identifier of the workload. The VM may transmit a request for a certificate to a hardware security module associated with the host device including the identifier of the workload. After transmitting the request for the certificate, the VM may receive the requested certificate from the HSM. In some cases, the VM may determine a private key associated with the workload and include the private key within the request for the certificate. Additionally or alternatively, the HSM may determine the private key. Here, the HSM may include the private key within the certificate.

    Abstract: A trust management system is provided for a network communication ecosystem having a plurality of participating entities. The trust management system includes a trust specification engine configured to define and manage trust relationships between a first entity and a second entity of the plurality of participating entities, a trust analysis engine configured to process the results of a trust query from the first entity to the second entity, a trust evaluation engine configured to evaluate the trust relationships managed by the trust specification engine, and a trust monitor configured to (i) monitor one or more trust triggers occurring relevant to at least one of the first and second entities, and (2) update a trust relationship between the first and second entities based on one or more monitored trust triggers.

    Abstract: A computer device is provided for performing secure updates and notifications. The computer device includes a transceiver configured for operable communication with an operator computer device of a communication network via a connection with a vendor computer device, and a first processor having a first memory device configured to store computer-executable instructions, which cause the first processor to (i) store a plurality of registration information for the operator computer device, which is registered for notifications for one or more device types, (ii) receive, from the vendor computer device, an update notification message associated with devices of a first device type, (iii) determine a link to update materials associated with the update notification message, (iv) determine additional operator computer devices that are registered to receive updates for the first device type, and (v) transmit, to the additional operator computer devices, an update notification message including the link to the update materials.
