We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.
Welcome all. new attendees. If you have any questions about participating in this community, please contact Louis Illuzzi (lilluzzi@linuxfoundation.org).
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
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
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
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.
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)
Automatically manage network availability, scalability and other quality of services as per business requirements/intents with minimal or zero manual interventions.
Standardize the construct used to write Intents and maintain the same.
Scalable to fulfill Edge, Core and RAN Requirements using intents
Provide agility to autonomously resolve conflicts between the intents
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
A demo on Constraint-based search is created; needs legal approval to make available
Lumen technologies will act as distributor
What existing capabiliites can be included/added to the 5G Super Blueprint Library? Constraint-based search, demo
Next Steps:
Improve algorithms for constraint based search
Path validation with a different proof algorithm to improve the performance
Inclusion into 5G SBP Library
Scope: Constraint-based search, Can be done where RAN and other resources are deployed on a 5G network. If there are any contraints, for example disk space or CPU latency, and have a placement problem, thats where SABREs shines. The demo shows constraint-based search
Proposal to add a column for higher level network function associated with each entry, example; slicing, security, UPF integration, IoT (visual inspection), etc.
Marketing Plan
The goal is that each completed project get the same marketing treatment (i.e. Marketing Plan execution) where the technology is highligthed and the participants and contributing companies are recognized.
