Summary:Methods and apparatus for attestation and execution of operators. The apparatus is configured to be implemented in a compute platform including at least one processing unit, and is configured to perform client-side attestation operations with an operator attestation service to validate an operator to be executed on the apparatus or a processing unit on the compute platform. The apparatus is also configured to fetch an operator from an operator catalog, compute a hash over the operator, and send a message containing the hash and operator identifier (ID) (or digest containing the same with optional signing) to the operator attestation service, which validates the operator by looking up a valid hash for the operator using the operator ID and comparing the hashes. The apparatus is also configured to maintain and enforce tenant rules relating to execution of operators, and includes a cache for caching validated operators.
