Abstract
Technologies for transferring ownership of a compute device include a data broker device to receive a provenance verification key of the compute device from a manufacturer device, receive attestation data of the compute device, and verify a provenance of the compute device based on the attestation data. The attestation data is indicative of one or more security attributes of the compute device. The data broker device updates a block chain with an acknowledgment of an assignment of the compute device to the data broker device, wherein the block chain identifies each transaction associated with ownership of the compute device.
Claims25
A data broker device for transferring ownership of a compute device, the data broker device comprising:
- a verification module to (i) receive a provenance verification key of the compute device from a manufacturer device, (ii) receive attestation data of the compute device, wherein the attestation data is indicative of one or more security attributes of the compute device, and (iii) verify a provenance of the compute device based on the attestation data;
- and
- a block chain module to update a block chain with an acknowledgment of an assignment of the compute device to the data broker device, wherein the block chain identifies each transaction associated with ownership of the compute device.
A method for transferring ownership of a compute device by a data broker device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the data broker device, a provenance verification key of the compute device from a manufacturer device;
- receiving, by the data broker device, attestation data of the compute device, wherein the attestation data is indicative of one or more security attributes of the compute device;
- verifying, by the data broker device, a provenance of the compute device based on the attestation data;
- and
- updating, by the data broker device, a block chain with an acknowledgment of an assignment of the compute device to the data broker device, wherein the block chain identifies each transaction associated with ownership of the compute device.
One or more machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a computing device to:
- receive a provenance verification key of the compute device from a manufacturer device;
- receive attestation data of the compute device, wherein the attestation data is indicative of one or more security attributes of the compute device;
- verify a provenance of the compute device based on the attestation data;
- and
- update a block chain with an acknowledgment of an assignment of the compute device to the data broker device, wherein the block chain identifies each transaction associated with ownership of the compute device.
