Abstract:
An apparatus operating as a certificate authority (CA) is described. The apparatus can perform operations including receiving, from a plurality of requesting devices, a request to join a group. The request can include identification information for the group and attestation evidence for the plurality of requesting devices. Responsive to receiving the request, the apparatus can provide a group certificate for the group to the plurality of requesting devices.
Abstract:
Technologies for securing a virtualization network function (VNF) image includes a security server to generate a wrapping cryptographic key to wrap a private key of the VNF image and replace the private key with the wrapped private key to secure the private key. During operation, the VNF image may be authenticated by a network function virtualization (NFV) server as needed. Additionally, the signature of the VNF image may be updated each time the VNF image is shutdown to ensure the continued authenticity of the VNF image.
Abstract:
Technologies for enforcing virtual machine network access control include a network computing device that includes a plurality of virtual machines. The network computing device is configured to receive an access request from a virtual function assigned to a requesting virtual machine of the network computing device. The network computing device is additionally configured to determine a first privilege level assigned to the requesting machine and a second privilege level assigned to the destination virtual machine, and determine whether the requesting virtual machine is authorized to access the destination virtual machine based on a comparison of the first and second privilege levels. Upon determining the requesting virtual machine is authorized to access the destination virtual machine, the network computing device is additionally configured to allow the requesting virtual machine access to the destination virtual machine. Other embodiments are described herein.
