  • A meeting between IBM, Aarna Networks, and LFN took place on 02/16. to discuss high-level overview and scope.
  • IBM introduced the concept of application-centric connectivity  <---YouTube link
  • Potential to integrate connectivity APIs to CSP 4G and 5G cores - AT&T, as an example
  • Next Steps:
    • Overview and Deep Dive of IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh. Targeted for Off-week working group meeting

SEDIMENT+KubeArmor

    • New Use Case/collaboration proposal (Muddasar):
      • Project L3AF uses eBPF for LSM (Linux Security Modules). There may be a potential for alignment around security; zero-trust capabilities- Ron to take it up with KubeArmor technical team
    • Muddasar asked if SEDIMENT can be ported to Linux to expand it capabilities to say, self-attestation.
      • Zahir shared that SEDIMENT can be used on Linux and uses the notion of user-defined functions so that for Linux devices, with much larger storage spaces then IoT devices, specific files can be specified to be attested to insure they have not been tampered with.
      • Drilling deeper it is proposed that SEDIMENT might be used to attest a Linux host before deployment. For example, when a CSP deploys Kubernetes infrastructure on Linux based platforms there is a capability where SEDIMENT can attest the host before deployment. A base-level Use Case can show the concept of using Linux to deploy different security-level SLAs
    • SEDIMENT presentation accepted for ONE Summit: https://onesummit2024.sched.com/event/1YUsm?iframe=no
    • Demo on environmental sensors Use Case was presented on 12/06.
    • Initial PoC:
    • Potential Hex Five sub project - Cesare/Rajesh - On hold. Remove
      • Investigative meeting took place between Peraton and Hex Five (Cesare).
      • Next Step- Hex Five to potentially come back with a proposal. in progress as of 11/01/23
    • Next Steps:
      • Muddasar new Use Case proposals. In progress
      • Zahir/LJ working on adding environmental sensors Use Case to Library
      • Looking to create an easy to use guidebook (Raj)
        • API work- working continuing
        • Would have to go through DARPA Public Release process
        • Aarno Labs- an MIT spin-off. Provides security for (currently) Java script. Whereas KubeArmor protects at the container level, Aarno protects at the Java script program level. SEDIMENT offers them an alternative where they may not be deploying on SGX (Software Guard Extensions). Contact Eric and Jeff Perkins also on SEDIMENT project. Raj to make introduction. Presented on Sept PI meeting. On hold. Remove
      • Identify and develop a security Use Case-Remove
    • IBM to present an overview and deep dive of IBM Hybrid Cloud Mesh.


SEDIMENT- Environmental Sensor Use Case

...

    • Updated demo that includes RA failure. Target end of Feb
    • Submit for DARPA approvals by mid-March

Established Baselines:

    • Environmental Sensor Use Case will be a separate entry into the Library as opposed to adding to the existing SEDIMENT entry
    • DARPA approval is required. Both Environmental Sensor Use Case for Library submission, as well as ONE Summit presentation, and updated demo will be sent for approval at the same time.
      • April 25 deadline for ONE Summit material submission.
      • DARPA needs 15 business days (3 weeks) for approval process.
      • DARPA approval items should be summitted by mid-March
    • Repo: github.com/sediment-lfproject/remote-attestation

        • Next Steps:
          •  Ron to take it up with KubeArmor technical team.

        • Next Steps:
    • Autonomous network: A network composed of intelligent and automated infrastructure, operational managementsystems, and business systems. ChinaMobile has set the goal of reaching Level 4 advanced autonomous driving by the year 2025 and has initiated a large-scale, comprehensive autonomous network practice across its entire network.


Intent Driven Orchestration for an Autonomous 5G Network - Keguang He (China Mobile)/Praveen Kumar Kalapatapu (Infosys)

  • Overview- Showcase Level 4 Autonomous 5G Network that can be provisioned using Intents and also maintain intents by effectively managing and resolving conflicts without manual interventions. Use case would use TMF 921 standards for the intent management. 

  • Operators are required to maintain highly complex 5G network based on the varied business requirements/intents. 

    Following are the solutions to be addressed in this usecase (Scope)

    1. Automatically manage network availability, scalability and other quality of services as per business requirements/intents with minimal or zero manual interventions.
    2. Standardize the construct used to write Intents and maintain the same.
    3. Scalable to fulfill Edge, Core and RAN Requirements using intents
    4. Provide agility to autonomously resolve conflicts between the intents
  • A ONE Summit session has been approved: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/one-summit-north-america/program/schedule/
  • There is a need to set up a recurring call on India/China friendly time to keep this moving forward. This may occur through the AI Task Force where an APAC-friendly time is being established
  • The AI Taskforce will serve as another platform to move this initiative forward
  • Current Work-in Progress:
    • Add Large Model Interactive Interface
    • Create the llm-adaptation service
    • Integrate llm-adaptation with OpenAI.
    • Integrate llm-adaptation with intent-analysis.
    • Fine tune China Mobile's Jiutian large model to obtain a large model suitable for ONAP knowledge question answering and ONAP intent processing
  • Next Steps/Goals:
    • Present relevant large model demo at ONE Summit in April
  • A bi-weekly call on Mondays has been established at an APAC friendly time for this project.
