CASTOR
Continuum of Trust: Increased Path Agility and Trustworthy Device and Service Provisioning
Project overview
Building trust across the compute continuum
As cloud-centric services struggle to meet emerging user needs, computing has shifted closer to the edge or far-edge, forming a “compute continuum”. This continuum faces challenges in securely supporting end-to-end information sharing due to untrusted hardware and software infrastructures with changing trust states.
CASTOR aims to enable trustworthy communications across this continuum by capturing security, privacy and trust requirements as policies enforced in the traffic engineering process. It focuses on distributed attestation, trust-aware path computation and vendor-agnostic trusted path establishment across domains. Its technologies will be tested in four use cases involving security-critical information.
- Trust-aware networking
- Distributed attestation
- Path agility
- Compute continuum
