    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service configured to execute on trusted participant devices authenticates network service devices each having identifying information and one or more offered services, and creates an entry into a secure digital ledger for each authenticated network service device and associated offered services, each entry based on the identifying information and the one or more offered services for a corresponding network service device. Upon receiving an advertisement for an advertised service from an advertising device attached to a given trusted participant device, the service then requests and may receive an authentic ledger entry from the secure digital ledger for the advertised service. In response to either validating or failing to validate authenticity of the advertised service based on the authentic ledger entry, registration at the given trusted participant device of the advertised service for the received advertisement from the advertising device may either be permitted or denied, respectively.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for measurement of trustworthiness of network devices prior to their configuration and deployment in a network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for pre-configuration of network devices includes receiving, at a dynamic host configuration server, a first request from a network device for configuration data, the configuration data including at least an IP address; sending, by the dynamic host configuration server, a second request to the network device for attestation information; verifying, by the dynamic host configuration server, the network device based on the attestation information; and assigning, by the dynamic host configuration server, the configuration data to the network device upon verifying the network device.
