Claim 23:
24. An apparatus for edge computing verification in an edge computing environment, comprising:
memory means for storing a trust representation of an edge computing feature, the edge computing feature provided by an edge computing node, the trust representation defined according to a trust calculus, and the trust representation provided in a data model of a manifest expressed according to a data definition language, wherein the trust representation indicates defines properties of attestation the edge computing verification node to validate before establishing trust in compute for results from a use of the edge computing feature;
network interface means for receiving, from the edge computing node, the compute results produced from the use of the edge computing feature and attestation evidence associated with the use of the edge computing feature; and
processing means for attempting validation of the attestation evidence based on the properties of attestation defined by the data model of the manifest;
wherein the network interface means is further adapted for transmitting an indication of trustworthiness for the compute results, based on the validation of the attestation evidence.
