Autonomous Network Edge Trust Assurance

In this proposal, we outline a comprehensive system enabling security measurements and interactions in distributed HPD-protected end-point systems, based on new measures of end-point trust that can be exchanged between authorized services/applications/resources. Trustedness sharing is done in such a way that it is not leaked or compromised even in end-points that are otherwise compromised including their OSs. The proposed approach has a unique combination of services and capabilities that go much beyond state-of-the-art to assure network edge trust and to provide end-point trust-based management/authorization of security features in a networked distributed environment such as envisioned for the GIG.
