Abstract:
Technologies for bootstrapping virtual network functions in a network functions virtualization (NFV) network architecture include a virtual network function (VNF) bootstrap service (VBS) in secure network communication with a VBS agent of a VNF instance. The VBS agent is configured to execute a secure VNF bootstrap capture protocol in the NFV network architecture. Accordingly, the VBS agent can be configured to register with the VBS via secure communications transmitted between the VBS and the VBS agent. The secure communications include transmitting a security quote from a TEE of a platform on which the VNF instance is instantiated and a security credential request to the VBS, as well as receiving a security credential in response to validating the security quote and the security credential request. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to the providing for mutual authentication and secure distributed processing of multi-party data. In particular, an experiment may be submitted to include the distributed processing of private data owned by multiple distrustful entities. Private data providers may authorize the experiment and securely transfer the private data for processing by trusted computing nodes in a pool of trusted computing nodes.
Abstract:
Technologies for trusted device on-boarding include a first computing device to generate a first public Diffie-Hellman key based on a private Diffie-Hellman key and a first unique identifier of the first computing device. The first unique identifier is retrieved from secure memory of the first computing device. The first computing device transmits the first public Diffie-Hellman key to a second computing device and receives, from the second computing device, a second public Diffie-Hellman key of the second computing device. The second public Diffie-Hellman key incorporates a second unique identifier of the second computing device. Further, the first computing device removes a contribution of the second unique identifier from the second public Diffie-Hellman key to generate a modified public Diffie-Hellman key and generates a shared Diffie-Hellman key based on the modified public Diffie-Hellman key and the private Diffie-Hellman key of the first computing device.
Abstract:
In a method for validating software updates, a data processing system contains a current version of a software component. The data processing system saves at least first and second current advance keys (AKs). After saving the current AKs, the data processing system receives an update package for a new version of the software component. The data processing system extracts a digital signature and two or more new AKs from the update package. The data processing system uses at least one current AK to determine whether the digital signature is valid. In response to a determination that the digital signature is valid, the data processing system uses a software image from the update package to update the software component, and the data processing system saves the new AKs, for subsequent utilization as the current AKs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Technologies for counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode encryption include a computing device that performs a CBC-MAC authentication operation on a message with an encryption key, using a 64-bit block cipher to generate a message authentication code. The computing device generates a first 64-bit authentication block including an 8-bit flag field and a length field of between 11 and 32 bits. The flag field indicates the length of the length field. Performing the CBC-MAC authentication operation includes formatting the message into one or more 64-bit authentication blocks. The computing device performs a counter mode encryption operation on the message with the encryption key using the 64-bit block cipher to generate a cipher text. Performing the counter mode encryption includes generating multiple 64-bit keystream blocks. The computing device generates an authentication tag based on the message authentication code and a first keystream block of keystream blocks. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
