FIELD-RECONFIGURABLE CLOUD-PROVIDED SERVERS WITH APPLICATION-SPECIFIC PLUGGABLE MODULES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202157 titled 'FIELD-RECONFIGURABLE CLOUD-PROVIDED SERVERS WITH APPLICATION-SPECIFIC PLUGGABLE MODULES

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a pluggable hardware module attached to a server is detected, and if the module is approved, a security artifact is obtained to enable access to application data.

  • The system detects the attachment of a pluggable hardware module to a server via a slot on the server's enclosure.
  • Metadata stored at the server is used to determine if the module is part of a group of approved modules.
  • A first security artifact is obtained from the module if it is approved.
  • The first security artifact is validated using a second security artifact from the metadata.
  • A program running within a virtual machine at the server is enabled to access application data from the module.

Potential Applications: - Data centers - Cloud computing environments - Server management systems

Problems Solved: - Ensuring secure access to application data from hardware modules - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information

Benefits: - Enhanced security for server applications - Efficient management of hardware modules - Streamlined access to application data

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Data Access System for Servers This technology could be used in data centers, cloud computing environments, and server management systems to enhance security and streamline access to application data. It could be marketed to companies that prioritize data security and efficient server management.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure that only approved hardware modules can access application data? 2. What are the potential risks of unauthorized access to application data in server environments?


Original Abstract Submitted

the attachment of a pluggable hardware module to a server via a slot on an enclosure of the server is detected. in response to determining, using metadata stored at the server, that the module is in a group of approved modules, a first security artifact is obtained from the module. in response to validating the first security artifact using a second security artifact which is part of the metadata, a program running within a virtual machine launched at the server is enabled to access application data of an application from the module.
