Abstract
A communications device comprising one or more communication input/output (I/O) ports, at least one of the one or more communication I/O ports being a wide area network port configured to connect the communications device to a wide area network; one or more secure data path processing agents configured to execute in a secure execution environment, monitor a device data communications activity through at least one of the one or more communication I/O ports, generate a device data record comprising information about the device data communications activity through at least one of the one or more communication I/O ports, and send the device data record to the network element over a trusted communication link between the one or more secure data path processing agents and the network element; and a trusted data path between the one or more secure data path processing agents and the wide area network port.
