    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and systems to externally manage network-to-network interconnect configuration data in conjunction with a centralized database subsystem. An example of the methods includes receiving and storing, in the centralized database subsystem, data indicative of user intent to interconnect at least a first network and a second network. The example method further includes, based at least in part on the data indicative of user intent, determining and storing, in the centralized database subsystem, a network intent that corresponds to the user intent. The example method further includes providing data indicative of the network intent from the centralized database subsystem to a first data plane adaptor, associated with the first network, and a second data plane adaptor, associated with the second network.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an offload platform is an compute platform, adjunct to a router or other packet switching device, that performs packet processing operations including determining an egress forwarding value corresponding to the next-hop node of the packet switching device to which to send an offload-platform processed packet. The offload platform downloads forwarding information from the router, and augments it, such as, but not limited to, representing interfaces of the router as identifiable virtual interface(s) on the offload platform, and including each of one or more next-hop nodes of the router represented as an identifiable virtual adjacency and identifiable tunnel (e.g., identified by the egress forwarding value). In one embodiment, the egress forwarding value is an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label or Segment Routing Identifier. The router identifies packets of certain packet flows to send to the adjunct offload platform, rather than processing per its routing information base.

    Abstract: A verifier peer system transmits a request to an application of another peer system to obtain integrity data of the application. In response to the request, the verifier peer system obtains a response that includes kernel secure boot metrics of the other peer system and integrity data of the application and of any application dependencies. If the verifier peer system determines that the response is valid, the verifier peer system evaluates the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics against a set of Known Good Values to determine whether the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics are valid. If the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics are valid, the verifier peer system determines that the other peer system is trustworthy.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for assessing reliability and trustworthiness of devices across domains. Attestation information for an attester node in a first domain is received at a verifier gateway in the first domain. The attestation information is translated at the verifier gateway into translated attestation information for a second domain. Specifically, the attestation information is translated into translated attested information for a second domain that is a different administrative domain from the first domain. The translated attestation information can be provided to a verifier in the second domain. The verifier can be configured to verify the trustworthiness of the attester node for a relying node in the second domain by identifying a level of trust of the attester node based on the translated attestation information.

    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein include apparatuses, systems, devices, and methods for anonymously generating an encrypted session for a client device in a wireless network. The method comprises, in response to providing, to the client device in the wireless network, a request for credentials associated with the client device, obtaining, from the client device, a response including proposed credentials associated with the client device. The method further comprises determining whether or not the format of the response matches a response template. The method further comprises, in response to determining that the format of the response matches the response template, generating an encrypted wireless session for the client device independent of the proposed credentials associated with the client device.

    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining, from a client device, a first set of application authentication credentials formatted in accordance with a first authentication protocol. The first set of application authentication credentials corresponds to a first user profile. The method includes translating the first set of application authentication credentials to a second set of application authentication credentials. The second set of application authentication credentials is formatted in accordance with a second authentication protocol different from the first authentication protocol and corresponds to the first user profile. The method includes providing the second set of application authentication credentials to an application authentication system. The method includes, in response to providing the second set of application authentication credentials to the application authentication system, obtaining, from the application authentication system, an application authentication indicator. In response to determining that the application authentication indicator indicates a successful authentication, granting the client device network access.
