Decentralized reputation management in a named-function network

A method executed on a compute node, the method comprising:

• accessing an information centric network (ICN) interest packet from a user device, the ICN interest packet including a function name and a data name;
• constructing a named-function network (NFN) interest packet using the function name;
• transmitting the NFN interest packet to a function provider;
• receiving an NFN data packet with a version of a function corresponding to the function name;
• constructing a named-data network (NDN) interest packet using the data name;
• receiving an NDN data packet with a data value corresponding to the data name;
• determining that the version of the function is not on a denylist;
• and
• initiating execution of the version of the function with the data value in response to determining that the version of the function is not on the denylist.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for reputation management on a compute node, which when executed by the compute node, cause the compute node to:

• access an information centric network (ICN) interest packet from a user device, the ICN interest packet including a function name and a data name;
• construct a named-function network (NFN) interest packet using the function name;
• transmit the NFN interest packet to a function provider;
• receive an NFN data packet with a version of a function corresponding to the function name;
• construct a named-data network (NDN) interest packet using the data name;
• receive an NDN data packet with a data value corresponding to the data name;
• determine that the version of the function is not on a denylist;
• and
• initiate execution of the version of the function with the data value in response to determining that the version of the function is not on the denylist.
