1. A method for operating a cloudlet, comprising: (4) (2)

booting a cloudlet that is remote from a data center, wherein the cloudlet boot cannot be tampered with by software executed by an operating system of the cloudlet; and

receiving data at the cloudlet from a personal mobile computing device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (1) (2)

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

5. The method of claim 1, wherein booting the cloudlet includes verifying a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the cloudlet. (0)

6. The method of claim 1, wherein booting the cloudlet includes receiving a Key Encryption Key (KEK) for a Self-Encrypting Storage (SES). (1) (0)

8. A computing device, comprising: (5) (2)

boot logic to boot the computing device, wherein the computing device is remote from a data center, and the boot cannot be tampered with by software executed by an operating system of the computing device; and

interface logic to receive data at the computing device from a mobile computing device.

9. The computing device of claim 8, further comprising: (1) (1)

11. The computing device of claim 8, further comprising: (1) (1)

13. The computing device of claim 8, wherein booting the computing device includes verifying a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the computing device. (0)

14. The computing device of claim 8, wherein booting the computing device includes receiving a Key Encryption Key (KEK) for a Self-Encrypting Storage (SES). (1) (0)

17. The computing device of claim 8, wherein the computing device is to operate in a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) system or a Fifth Generation Mobile Network (5G) system. (0)

18. A computing device, including: (2) (5)

a secure processor;

a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) in communication with the secure processor;

a trusted execution environment in communication with the BIOS; and

a Self-Encrypting Storage (SES) in communication with the BIOS;

wherein the BIOS is to request a Key Encryption Key (KEK) from the trusted execution environment, the trusted execution environment is to verify the BIOS and provide the KEK to the BIOS subsequent to verification of the BIOS, the BIOS is to provide the KEK to the SES to unlock the SES, and the secure processor is to run virtual processes subsequent to unlocking the SES.

19. The computing device of claim 18, wherein the trusted execution environment is to emulate a read-only device exposing configuration parameters, log information, or diagnostic information to another computing device. (0)

20. The computing device of claim 18, wherein boot of the computing device cannot be tampered with by software executed by an operating system of the computing device. (0)
