ANALISI DELLE PRESTAZIONI DI UN'ARCHITETTURA PER L'ATTESTAZIONE REMOTA DI CATENE DI SERVIZI DIGITALI

The virtualization technologies are getting ever more popular in the designing of networks. The traditional network components are now substituted by virtualized network functions, thus eliminating their dependency from hardware. Therefore, network services are deployed as an ordered set of virtual network functions. In this context, the main goal of this thesis is to provide an architecture conforming to the ETSI-NFV framework, that makes use of Remote Attestation to guarantee the reliability and the trustworthiness of each virtual function in a Service Function Chain. Then, once defined a specific use-case, a test of the architecture is conducted, in order to evaluate its performance.
