Systems and methods to evaluate client device trust in a distributed computing system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, to:
• receive, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, a request for desired content from a client device, the content being stored in a content delivery network (CDN);
• generate, based on data available to the content sharing platform, a trust package associated with the client device, wherein the trust package is to be used by a CDN server to make a decision regarding access to the desired content by the client device;
• generate a response to the content request, wherein the response comprises one or more resource locators for accessing the desired content in the CDN, and the trust package;
• and
• send the response to the client device to enable the client device to request the desired content from the CDN server using the one or more resource locators and the trust package.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request for desired content from a client device, the content being stored in a content delivery network (CDN);
• generating, based on data available to a content sharing platform, a partial trust metric associated with the client device, wherein the partial trust metric is to be used by a CDN server to make a decision regarding access to the desired content by the client device;
• generating a response to the content request, wherein the response comprises one or more resource locators for accessing the desired content in the CDN, and the partial trust metric;
• and
• sending the response to the client device to enable the client device to request the desired content from the CDN server using the one or more resource locators and the partial trust metric.
