Data confidence fabric trust brokers
A trust broker is disclosed for a data confidence fabric. The trust broker evaluates the trustworthiness of data flowing through a network that includes a data confidence fabric. The trust broker evaluates a baseline confidence score and generates a workorder to improve the baseline confidence score in a measurable way. The trust broker may implement the workorder and ensure that the trust improves in the data confidence fabric.
1. A method, comprising:
performing an analysis of a network to identify trust insertion technologies present in the network, wherein the trust insertion technologies are identified using a catalog;
determining a confidence score for each of the trust insertion technologies, wherein the confidence score for each of the trust insertion technologies is provided from the catalog;
determining a network confidence score for the network from the confidence scores of the trust insertion technologies;
generating a workorder to improve the network confidence, wherein improvement is measurable; and
performing the workorder.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalog includes relations between the confidence scores, the trust insertion technologies, settings of the trust insertion technologies, and descriptions of the trust insertion technologies.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the workorder includes one or more of adding new trust insertion technologies to the network, upgrading the existing trust insertion technologies, changing settings of the existing trust insertion technologies, maintaining the trust insertion technologies improved in the work order.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the workorder further includes latencies associated with the trust insertion technologies and or improving the trust of the network, and includes a cost associated with improving the trust of the network.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising implementing the workorder in full or in part.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising installing one or more taps in the network to measure trust added by the workorder to the network.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising setting a target network confidence score.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising measuring the network confidence score after implementing the workorder to measure the improvement.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the workorder comprises a smart contract or other payment methodology.
10. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
performing an analysis of a network to identify trust insertion technologies present in the network, wherein the trust insertion technologies are identified using a catalog;
determining a confidence score for each of the trust insertion technologies, wherein the confidence score for each of the trust insertion technologies is provided from the catalog;
determining a network confidence score for the network from the confidence scores of the trust insertion technologies;
generating a workorder to improve the network confidence, wherein improvement is measurable; and
performing the workorder.
11. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the catalog includes relations between the confidence scores, the trust insertion technologies, settings of the trust insertion technologies, and descriptions of the trust insertion technologies.
12. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the workorder includes one or more of adding new trust insertion technologies to the network, upgrading the existing trust insertion technologies, changing settings of the existing trust insertion technologies, maintaining the trust insertion technologies improved in the work order.
13. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the workorder further includes latencies associated with the trust insertion technologies and or improving the trust of the network, and includes a cost associated with improving the trust of the network.
14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 10 , the operations further comprising implementing the workorder in full or in part.
15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14 , the operations further comprising installing one or more taps in the network to measure trust added by the workorder to the network.
16. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 15 , the operations further comprising setting a target network confidence score.
17. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 16 , the operations further comprising measuring the network confidence score after implementing the workorder to measure the improvement.
18. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the workorder comprises a smart contract or other payment methodology.
