ESTABLISHING TRUST RELATIONSHIPS OF IPV6 NEIGHBORS USING ATTESTATION-BASED METHODS IN IPV6 NEIGHBOR DISCOVERY

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for assessing reliability and trustworthiness of devices operating within a network. A recipient node in a network environment can receive a neighbor discovery (ND) message from an originating node in the network environment that are both implementing a neighbor discovery protocol. Trustworthiness of the originating node can be verified by identifying a level of trust of the originating node based on attestation information for the originating node included in the ND message received at the recipient node. Connectivity with the recipient node through the network environment can be managed based on the level of trust of the originating node identified from the attestation information included in the ND message.
