Distributed authentication in a protocol-based sphere of trust in which a given external connection outside the sphere of trust may carry communications from multiple sources

Jeremy T. Buch, +4 more
TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a distributed authentication model that operates within a protocol-based sphere of trust, where the external computing systems initially communicate with a specific edge internal computing system, and then delegate the task of authentication to the edge computing system.
Abstract: 
A distributed authentication model that operates within a protocol-based sphere of trust. Rather than being able to communicate with any one of the computing systems internal to the sphere of trust, the amount of authentication is reduced by having the external computing systems initially communicate with a specific edge internal computing system. Many if not all of the internal computing systems then delegate the task of authentication to the edge computing system, and will rely on any authentication performed by the edge computing system. This allows the task of authentication to scale well for large protocol-based spheres of trust.

Defined zone of authentication

Barakat Wayne, +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a level of authentication is calculated for the user based on the information from a defined zone of an environment surrounding the user, and when the level is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the user is authenticated at the electronic computing device to perform a requested activity.

Edge computing task scheduling method based on QoE perception

Dong Wei, +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, an edge computing task scheduling method based on QoE perception is proposed, which comprises the following steps: periodically collecting equipment resource state information and network state information by a router; when the router receives a task scheduling request, predicting the execution time of a task on different devices according to a prediction model; on the basis, based on the device resources state information, the network states information and the task data, establishing an edge calculation task scheduling model, and solving the task-solving model by using a linear programming model solver to obtain the task scheduling result

Extensible security system and method for controlling access to objects in a computing environment

Clifford P. Van Dyke, +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method and computing system for extending access control of system objects in a computing environment beyond traditional rights such as read, write, create and delete is presented. But the system administrator or user application is able to create control rights that are unique to the type of object, but rather define how a user may control the object.

Method and apparatus for processing requests in a network data processing system based on a trust association between servers

Gennaro A. Cuomo, +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present instructions for handling requests in a network data processing system, where a first server receives a request from a client to access a resource, performs an authentication process with the client, add information to the request in which the information indicates that the request is from a trusted source to form a modified request, and sends the modified request for processing.
