Extra seal of trust/confidence on first-packet data

Abstract

One example method includes receiving, at a node of a data confidence fabric, a data stream, prepending, by the node, a data confidence fabric header to the data stream so as to create a prepended data stream, and the data confidence fabric header includes confidence metadata relating to the data stream, and transmitting, by the node, the prepended data stream to another node of the data confidence fabric. The confidence metadata includes metadata about hardware and/or software associated with the data in the data stream.
