Abstract
The present disclosures introduce a novel method allowing confidential computing to be performed within a federated environment, or systems of nodes, where nodes may grant permissions to other nodes or users to process their data using approved software without data or code disclosure. The method comprises a mechanism that introduces a mediator node that acts as an impartial entity, providing network discovery and network-level policy enforcement.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- outputting, by a mediator node in a federated confidential computing network, a list of connected confidential computing nodes and corresponding network addresses such that a first confidential computing node in the federated confidential computing network discovers a second confidential computing node in the federated confidential computing network;
- receiving, by the mediator node from the first confidential computing node, a permission request to communicate with the second confidential computing node;
- and
- providing, by the mediator node, a network level authorization to the first confidential computing node such that the first confidential computing node communicates with the second confidential computing node to execute a task.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a first confidential computing node in a federated confidential computing network and from a mediator node, a list of connected confidential computing nodes and corresponding network addresses, the first confidential computing node executing a trusted execution environment;
- transmitting, by the first confidential computing node to the mediator node, a permission request to communicate with a second confidential computing node in the federated confidential computing network;
- receiving, by the first confidential computing node from the mediator node, a network level authorization;
- and
- transmitting, by the first confidential computing node to the second confidential computing node and based on the network level authorization, a request for a task such that the second confidential computing node executes the task in a corresponding trusted execution environment.
