Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for generating, in response to a decrease in trustworthiness with respect to a controller, a notification message and generating a message authentication code (MAC) based on the notification message and one or more locally stored keys. Additionally, the notification message and the MAC may be sent to the controller, wherein the notification message is directed to one or more peers in a network associated with the controller. In one example, the notification message includes one or more of an indication that the controller is compromised or an indication that the controller is suspected to be compromised.

Negotiating trust degradation for a central entity by peers lacking direct communication with one another

The present disclosure is directed to enhanced virtual function capabilities in a virtualized network environment. In general, devices may comprise physical and virtualized resources. The physical resources may comprise at least a network adaptor that may handle incoming data from a network and outgoing data to the network. The virtualized resources may comprise at least one virtual machine (VM) and a corresponding interface. The corresponding interface may be one of a physical interface, a virtual interface or a 'super' virtual interface. The physical interface may provide a first set of capabilities allowing the VM to access (e.g., control) at least the network adaptor. The virtual interface may provide a second set of capabilities that is a subset of the first set. The super virtual interface may provide a third set of capabilities including the second set of capabilities and at least one additional capability from the first set of capabilities.
