Presented herein are techniques for observing smart contracts. A method can include obtaining, by a digital twin, a first data set from a first smart contract that stores the first data to a first distributed ledger and a second data set from a second smart contract that stores the second data set to a second distributed ledger. Determining operating states of the first and second smart contracts based on the first data set, the second data set, and one or more state messages from an oracle associated with the first distributed ledger and the second distributed ledger. Generating a consolidated view of the first and second smart contracts, based on the operating states. And providing the consolidated view of the first and second smart contracts for monitoring the operating states and interactions between the first and second smart contracts as a whole.

Systems and methods for observing smart contracts

A method, computer system, and computer program product are provided for obfuscating and storing data. A data object is obtained comprising data for storing to a plurality of distributed ledgers. Sequence information is obtained indicating a number of a plurality of data portions into which the data object is divided, and instructions for storing the plurality of data portions to the plurality of distributed ledgers. The plurality of data portions is generated by dividing the data object according to the number. The plurality of distributed ledgers are determined to store the plurality of data portions based on the instructions indicated by the sequence information. The plurality of data portions is stored across the plurality of distributed ledgers by accessing the plurality of distributed ledgers, wherein each data portion is stored to a particular distributed ledger of the plurality of distributed ledgers according to the instructions indicated by the sequence information.

Data obfuscation and protection in a Web3 environment

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate fast roaming between a mobile network operator-public (MNO-public) wireless wide area (WWA) access network and an enterprise private WWA access network. In one example, a method is provided that may include generating, by an authentication node, authentication material for a user equipment (UE) based on the UE being connected to a public WWA access network, wherein the public WWA access network is associated with a mobile network operator, and the authentication node and the UE are associated with an enterprise entity; obtaining, by the authentication node, an indication that the UE is attempting to access a private WWA access network associated with the enterprise entity; and providing, by the authentication node, the authentication material for the UE, wherein the authentication material facilitates connection establishment between the UE and the private WWA access network.

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate providing slice attribute information to a user equipment (UE) for one or more slice types with which the user equipment is allowed to establish one or more session(s). In one example, a method may include obtaining, by a network element, a registration request for connection of a UE to a mobile network; performing an authentication for connection of the UE to the mobile network; and upon successful authentication, providing, by the network element, a registration response to the UE, wherein the registration response identifies one or more network slice types with which the UE is authorized to establish a session and the registration response identifies one of: attribute information for each of the one or more network slice types or network location information from which attribute information for each of the one or more network slice types is to be obtained.

Providing slice attribute information to user equipment in a mobile network environment

Presented herein are techniques for verifying data. A method can include obtaining, from an oracle, a first data set associated with a distributed ledger. The method further includes obtaining a plurality of data sets from a plurality of sources. The method further includes generating a confidence level regarding the first data set for validating the first data set, based on comparing the first data set to the plurality of data sets. The method further includes storing the first data set in the distributed ledger based on the confidence level indicating that the plurality of data sets concurs with the first data set. The method further includes taking a remedial action without storing the first data set in the distributed ledger based on the confidence level indicating a discrepancy between the plurality of data sets and the first data set.

Systems and methods for providing confidence in an oracle

In one embodiment, a data sharing platform uses data associated with a data owner to share data via a plurality of sharing services, each sharing service in the plurality of sharing services providing a different type of data. The data sharing platform tracks access to each of the plurality of sharing services. The data sharing platform computes, based in part on the access to each of the plurality of sharing services, an importance metric for the data associated with the data owner. The data sharing platform provides an indication of the importance metric for display to the data owner.

Data importance assessment in a data sharing platform

Methods are provided which involve obtaining information about a distributed ledger instance associated with an enterprise and generating at least one announcement that advertises a presence of the distributed ledger instance based on the information. The methods further involve providing the at least one announcement to one or more network devices associated with other distributed ledger instances to provide visibility of the distributed ledger instance to the other distributed ledger instances.

Distributed ledger network discovery and cross-instance data routing

In one embodiment, a data sharing platform performs a series of data operations to provide different types of data via different sharing services of the data sharing platform that are derived from data shared by a particular data owner. The data sharing platform generates tag data associated with the particular data owner for one or more of the series of data operations. The data sharing platform determines, based on the tag data, an attribution chain that links the data shared by the particular data owner to the different types of data provided via the different sharing services. The data sharing platform sends an indication of the attribution chain for display.

Attribution of user data sources across datasets in a data sharing platform

An enterprise controller of an enterprise network sends to a service gateway of a service provider network a request for network slice information about network slices provisioned on a data plane of the service provider network. Responsive to the sending, the enterprise controller receives from the service gateway the network slice information including identifiers of and properties associated with the network slices. Responsive to receiving a request for the network slice information from a network device at a border of a forwarding plane of the enterprise network, the enterprise controller sends the network slice information to the network device to cause the network device to perform configuring network traffic in the forwarding plane with identifiers of ones of the network slices that match the network traffic, and to perform forwarding the network traffic configured with the identifiers to the data plane of the service provider network.

Enabling enterprise segmentation with 5G slices in a service provider network

A first data plane is established between a user equipment device and a gateway device, wherein the user equipment device comprises a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) user equipment device, and wherein the first data plane comprises a 3GPP data plane. A second data plane is established between the gateway device and an anchor device, wherein the second data plane comprises a Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) data plane. Mobility management is performed for the user equipment device via communications between the gateway device and the anchor device.

Proxy mobile internet protocol based mobility management system

In one embodiment, a device receives, from a requestor, a query function that queries a dataset and an intended use schema associated with the query function. The device determines, using a policy ruleset, whether the intended use schema falls within an available schema for the dataset. The device executes the query function on the dataset to form a result data, when the intended use schema falls within the available schema for the dataset. The device provides the result data to the requestor.
