Abstract
An endpoint node of a multiple node environment includes a storage and a processor. The storage stores an owner public key for an owner of the endpoint node. The processor receives a work request for a job to be performed in the endpoint. The work request is signed with a first private key for a first user node. The processor retrieves first and second certificates. The first certificate attests that the first user node is part of a first group of users. The second certificate attests that the first group of users has permissions to perform the job in the end point node. Based on the owner public key and the first and second certificates, the processor validates the work request. In response to the work request being validated, the processor performs the job within the endpoint node.
