SECURE REMOTE SUPPORT FOR EDGE COMPUTING PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240039706 titled 'SECURE REMOTE SUPPORT FOR EDGE COMPUTING PLATFORM

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed method is for providing secure access to a remote endpoint of an edge computing platform for a non-credentialed user (NCU). It involves generating a support voucher for the NCU, which includes a temporary ownership voucher with digital signatures establishing a chain of trust from a root of trust to the NCU. The NCU is provided with a private key associated with the support voucher.

To authenticate the NCU, the private key is used to log into an edge platform resource. If the support voucher is recognized and validated by the edge platform resource, the NCU is authenticated and established as a designated owner of the remote endpoint. Once established as a designated owner, the NCU can access the edge platform resource and from there access the platform endpoint.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Providing secure access to remote endpoints of edge computing platforms for non-credentialed users.
  • Enabling temporary ownership and access to specific resources within an edge computing platform.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allowing non-credentialed users to securely access and utilize resources within an edge computing platform.
  • Establishing trust and authentication for non-credentialed users without traditional credentials.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced security by establishing a chain of trust from a root of trust to the non-credentialed user.
  • Flexibility in granting temporary ownership and access to specific resources within the edge computing platform.
  • Simplified authentication process for non-credentialed users.


Original Abstract Submitted

a disclosed method for providing a non-credentialed user (ncu) with secure access to a remote endpoint of an edge computing platform, generates a support voucher for the ncu wherein the support voucher comprises a temporary ownership voucher including one or more digital signatures establishing a chain of trust from a root of trust to the ncu. the method provides a private key associated with the support voucher to the ncu. responsive to detecting the ncu, using the private key to log into an edge platform resource and determining that the support voucher is recognized by the edge platform resource, the ncu is authenticated and the support voucher is validated to establish the ncu as a designated owner of the remote endpoint. responsive to establishing the ncu as a designated owner, the ncu may access the edge platform resource and from there access the platform endpoint.
