Primary capability

Trusted Execution

Evaluation plan

Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.

Run selected services near field operations while retaining centralized identity, access, and lifecycle control.

01

Select the operational scope

One representative edge workload on supported hardware with representative data and a defined relying service.

02

Verify the technical path

Have representatives from mission system owners, platform engineering, cyber defense, data owners review the architecture path and policy boundaries.

03

Review the decision evidence

Determine whether the selected workload can run at the field edge with the required access policy, observability, and revocation controls.

Acceptance criteria

Define success with observable evidence and a decision.

Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.

01

The evaluation includes one field-edge host, one approved workload, representative data, and a defined command or cloud service path.

02

Platform, communications, cyber-defense, and application owners confirm workload identity, access policy, and lifecycle controls.

03

The team records Endlet and workload state, service identity, allowed paths, execution state, telemetry, and revocation.

04

The results show whether the workload runs locally with the agreed access, visibility, and lifecycle controls.

Operational outcome

Run selected services near field operations while retaining centralized identity, access, and lifecycle control.

Evaluation scope

One representative edge workload on supported hardware with representative data and a defined relying service.

Decision

Determine whether the selected workload can run at the field edge with the required access policy, observability, and revocation controls.
