Abstract
Methods and systems for authenticating data processing systems throughout a distributed environment without user intervention are disclosed. To authenticate data processing systems without user intervention, a system may include a network core and one or more data processing systems. Data processing systems may provide telemetry data to the network core for use in future authentication processes. To increase security throughout the system, the network core may ensure that low security data points are not retained for authentication. A low security data point may be a data point that matches a data point obtained from another data processing system. If a root of trust is lost between a data processing system and the network core, the network core may use retained telemetry data points to generate a security questionnaire. If the data processing system successfully answers security questions of the security questionnaire, the root of trust may be restored.
