Claim 10:
11. A wireless communication network to connect a user application in a user device to an application server, the wireless communication network comprising:
an edge enablement client in a user gateway configured to exchange EDGE-5 signaling with the user application in the user device and exchange EDGE-1 signaling with a gateway enablement server in the user gateway;
the gateway enablement server configured to exchange the EDGE-1 signaling with the edge enablement client, exchange EDGE-9 signaling with an edge enablement server in an edge data network, and exchange EDGE-3 signaling with a gateway application server in the user gateway;
the gateway application server configured to exchange the EDGE-3 signaling with the gateway enablement server and exchange user data between the user application and an edge application server in the edge data network responsive to the EDGE-3 signaling wherein the user application exchanges the user data responsive to the EDGE-5 signaling;
the EES configured to exchange the EDGE-9 signaling with the GES and exchange additional EDGE-3 signaling with the EAS;
the edge enablement server configured to exchange the additional EDGE-3 signaling with the edge enablement server and exchange the user data gateway application server and a core network responsive to the additional EDGE-3 signaling;
the core network configured to exchange the user data with the edge application server, exchanging the user data with the application server, and transfer network information that comprises a user device identifier, application identifier, and a network address that characterizes the exchange of the user data for the user application to a distributed ledger node; and
the distributed ledger node configured to receive the network information from the core network and determine trust for the user application, the user gateway, the edge data network, and the core network based on the user device identifier, the application identifier, and the network address.
