US Patent 11425111 Attestation token sharing in edge computing environments

Various approaches for implementing attestation using an attestation token are described. In an edge computing system deployment, an edge computing device includes an attestable feature (e.g., resource, service, entity, property, etc.) which is accessible from use of an attestation token, by the operations of: obtaining a first instance of a token that provides proof of attestation for an accessible feature of the edge computing device, with the token including data to indicate trust level designations for the feature as attested by an attestation provider; receiving, from a prospective user of the feature, a request to use the feature and a second instance of the token, with the second instance of the token originating from the attestation provider; and providing access to the feature based on a verification of the instances of the token, by using the verification to confirm attestation of the trust level designations for the feature.
