Secure network function/application orchestration in edge

How can applications share the environment and hardware in edge platforms while maintaining security boundaries and preventing unauthorized access?

SecurityEdgeNetwork FunctionsSystems

Background and Motivation

How can applications share the environment and the hardware in the platform. Even communication, bridges, etc. We need guarantees for the infrastructure provider about how applications do not escape their execution boundaries. But we also need guarantees for application developers regarding how infrastructure providers (as well as other applications) cannot access or taint their deployments.

Can lead to specifying SGx environment in SLA. The application will only run in the secure enclave.

For network functions, we can use jbpf [1].

Expected Outcomes

Can go into 6G NFs and IML aspects
