Correlating Remote Attestation Quotes with VNF Resource Allocation
Summary
The USPTO granted Patent US12598085B2 to Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ) on April 7, 2026. The patent covers methods for correlating remote attestation quotes with virtualized network function (VNF) resource allocation events to ensure VNF components operate in legitimate contexts. The patent names four inventors and includes 23 claims covering the attestation correlation methodology.
What changed
USPTO issued Patent US12598085B2 to Ericsson AB, granting exclusive rights to a method for correlating remote attestation quotes with VNF resource allocation events. The patent describes obtaining VNF components requiring attestation, retrieving attestation quotes ensuring legitimate context for each component, and correlating those quotes with resource allocation events.
For technology companies and telecommunications providers developing virtualized network functions, this patent establishes intellectual property boundaries around remote attestation security mechanisms. Companies implementing similar VNF allocation and verification processes should consider potential patent infringement implications when designing network function virtualization security solutions.

Abstract
A method, network node and non-transitory computer readable media having stored thereon instructions for correlating a remote attestation quote with a virtualized network function (VNF) resource allocation event. The method comprises obtaining a set of VNF components (VNFCs) that require remote attestation. The method comprises obtaining an attestation quote for each VNFC of the set of VNFCs, the attestation quote ensuring that instances of each VNFC are used in a legitimate context. The method comprises correlating each attestation quote with the VNF resource allocation event.
