A user equipment, UE, comprising: a processor; a transceiver; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to: receive, through the transceiver and from a remote system, a communication request to communicate with the remote system, the communication request indicating that the remote system requires the application for processing the communication request must be executed within an isolated virtual machine instance; instantiate, in response to receiving the communication request, a UE virtual machine instance on the UE, the UE virtual machine instance being hashed with a root certificate when the UE virtual machine instance is instantiated, the root certificate certifying underlying hardware of the UE virtual machine instance; execute, on the UE virtual machine instance, an application for processing the communication request; transmit, through the transceiver and to an attestation server, the root certificate to attest to the execution of the application within the UE virtual machine instance; establish a communication link between the application and the remote system; and communicate, via the transceiver, with the remote system across the communication link. a processor; a transceiver; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to: receive, through the transceiver and from a remote system, a communication request to communicate with the remote system, the communication request indicating that the remote system requires the application for processing the communication request must be executed within an isolated virtual machine instance; instantiate, in response to receiving the communication request, a UE virtual machine instance on the UE, the UE virtual machine instance being hashed with a root certificate when the UE virtual machine instance is instantiated, the root certificate certifying underlying hardware of the UE virtual machine instance; execute, on the UE virtual machine instance, an application for processing the communication request; transmit, through the transceiver and to an attestation server, the root certificate to attest to the execution of the application within the UE virtual machine instance; establish a communication link between the application and the remote system; and communicate, via the transceiver, with the remote system across the communication link. receive, through the transceiver and from a remote system, a communication request to communicate with the remote system, the communication request indicating that the remote system requires the application for processing the communication request must be executed within an isolated virtual machine instance; instantiate, in response to receiving the communication request, a UE virtual machine instance on the UE, the UE virtual machine instance being hashed with a root certificate when the UE virtual machine instance is instantiated, the root certificate certifying underlying hardware of the UE virtual machine instance; execute, on the UE virtual machine instance, an application for processing the communication request; transmit, through the transceiver and to an attestation server, the root certificate to attest to the execution of the application within the UE virtual machine instance; establish a communication link between the application and the remote system; and communicate, via the transceiver, with the remote system across the communication link.
