Abstract:
Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases for trust-based orchestration of an edge node. An edge node may be configured for trust-based orchestration in an edge computing environment, where the edge node includes a transceiver to receive an instruction to perform a workload, the instruction from an edge orchestrator, the edge node being in a group of edge nodes managed with a ledger; and a processor to execute the workload at the edge node to produce a result, wherein the execution of the workload is evaluated by other edge nodes in the group of edge nodes to produce a reputation score of the edge node, where the transceiver is to provide the result to the edge orchestrator.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and use cases for geofence-based edge service control and authentication are discussed, including an orchestration system with memory and at least one processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to perform operations to obtain, from a plurality of connectivity nodes providing edge services, physical location information, and resource availability information associated with each of the plurality of connectivity nodes. An edge-to-edge location graph (ELG) is generated based on the physical location information and the resource availability information, the ELG indicating a subset of the plurality of connectivity nodes that are available for executing a plurality of services associated with an edge workload. The connectivity nodes are provisioned with the ELG and a workflow execution plan to execute the plurality of services, the workflow execution plan including metadata with a geofence policy. The geofence policy specifies geofence restrictions associated with each of the plurality of services.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for dynamically controlling an infrastructure item are disclosed. The systems and methods may include receiving environmental data. The environmental data may capture behavior of a crossing user. An intent of the crossing user may be determined based on the environmental data. A setting of the infrastructure item may be changed based on the intent of the crossing user.
Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for determining a first key associated with a first group and determining a first resource exposure policy for the device with respect to the first group. Additionally, the first key may be used to send first operational and security context data to a first dynamic group verifier in accordance with the first resource exposure policy. In one example, a second key associated with a second group is determined, a second resource exposure policy is determined for the device with respect to the second group, a local context change is detected, and the second key is used to send, in response to the local context change, second operational data to a second dynamic group verifier in accordance with the second resource exposure policy.
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and/or methods to temporally and spatially bound personal information. A pseudo random number corresponding to time based on a random number time seed and generate a pseudo random number corresponding to location based on a random number location seed may be generated. In addition, the pseudo random number corresponding to time may be mixed with the pseudo random number corresponding to location to generate a combined pseudo random number corresponding to a specific user at a specific location at a specific time. The combined pseudo random number may be used to store and/or read personal information in an anonymous manner.
Abstract:
A computing device is described. The computing device includes input/output (I/O) circuitry to receive sensory data and a trusted execution environment to monitor the I/O circuitry to detect one or more context characteristics of the computing device and to authenticate user identity based on context characteristics.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes technologies for securely storing and using biometric authentication information, such as biometric reference templates. In some embodiments, the technologies include a client device that stores one or more biometric reference templates in a memory thereof. The client device may transfer such templates to an authentication device. The transfer may be conditioned on verification that the authentication device includes a suitable protected environment for the templates and will execute an acceptable temporary storage policy. The technologies may also include an authentication device that is configured to temporarily store biometric reference templates received from a client device in a protected environment thereof. Upon completion of biometric authentication or the occurrence of a termination event, the authentication devices may delete the biometric reference templates from the protected environment.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to use of a keyboard as a biometric authentication device. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus comprises a processor circuit executing a sequence of instructions causing the processor circuit to receive a signal indicative of a keypress of at least one key of a keyboard communicatively coupled to the apparatus, and indicative of at least one physical characteristic associated with the keypress; compare the at least one physical characteristic to at least one stored physical characteristic associated with at least one authorized user of the apparatus; and determine if the keypress is associated with at least one authorized user of the apparatus based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.
Abstract:
A method for controlling access to information includes sending a request from an identity requester to an identity provider through an over-the-air (OTA) link. Data received from the identity provider in response to the request includes information used to establish a first identity of a user for a first service. The first identity information is received during a Sigma session, and a second identity of the user is established for a second service based on the received first identity information. The user may be a user of a mobile communication terminal or other device, which is to receive the first and second services.
Abstract:
In an embodiment a single user authentication event, performed between a trusted path hardware module and a service provider via an out of band communication, can enable a user to transparently access multiple service providers using strong credentials that are specific to each service provider. The authentication event may be based on multifactor authentication that is indicative of a user's actual physical presence. Thus, for example, a user would not need to enter a different retinal scan to gain access to each of the service providers. Other embodiments are described herein.
