Current approaches to using security postures lack functionalities. Security postures can be used to enable various nodes to make informed decisions. In accordance with one embodiment, a system comprises a first node and a second node. The first node receives a security posture associated with the second node. The security posture provides a verifiable point-in-time trust metric on an overall level of trust in the second node. The first node compares the security posture associated with the second node to an expected security posture level associated with the first node. If the security posture associated with the second node is adequate as compared to the expected security posture level, a connection is established between the first node and the second node.
In a system comprising a first node and a second node, a method performed at the first node, the method comprising:
A first node comprising, a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the first node configured to connect to a communications network via the communication circuitry, the first node comprising computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the first node which, when executed by the processor of the first node, perform operations comprising:
