Service meshes and smart contracts for zero-trust systems

This invention describes a cloud system that organizes how different computer services and applications talk to each other using two interconnected "service meshes." It uses smart contracts on a blockchain to keep a secure, unchangeable record of how resources are assigned and used across these services. Specifically, it includes a network service mesh with endpoints and a manager, and a global variable system with a bulletin board server for updates.

Why it matters: The continued maturation of enterprise blockchain solutions and service mesh tooling since 2022 could simplify the complex integration required for verifiable, zero-trust resource management. This makes the detailed recording of resource assignment and consumption via smart contracts more practical for large-scale cloud environments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCloud infrastructure, service meshes, blockchain, smart contracts.
