International Classification:

H04L 9/08
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A secure secrets proxy is instantiated in a first computing environment and includes secure secrets proxy authentication data for identifying itself to a secrets distribution management system in a second computing environment as a trusted virtual asset to receive and cache secrets data in a secure secrets cache outside the second computing environment. A virtual asset requests one or more secrets, triggering a process to authenticate the requesting virtual asset, gathering authorized secrets data representing secrets the virtual asset is allowed to have. The secure secrets proxy is provided data representing the requested secrets and stores that secrets data in the secure secrets cache of the proxy.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

Virtual host creation data used to instantiate a hardened task specific virtual host in a first computing environment is generated including hardening logic for providing enhanced security and trust for the hardened task specific virtual host and internal task specific logic for directing and/or allowing the hardened task specific virtual host to perform a specific function assigned to the hardened task specific virtual host. When task data is received indicating a task to be performed in the first computing environment requires the performance of the specific function assigned to the hardened task specific virtual host, the hardened task specific virtual host is automatically instantiated and/or deployed in the first computing environment.

G06F 21/60
G06F 21/30

US Classification:

726 1

Abstract:

Secrets data representing one or more secrets required to access associated resources is provided along with secrets distribution policy data representing one or more secrets distribution factors used to control the distribution of the secrets. When a requesting virtual asset submits secrets request data, virtual asset profile data associated with the requesting virtual asset is obtained. The requesting virtual asset profile data is then analyzed using at least one of the secrets distribution factors to authenticate the requesting virtual asset. The requesting virtual asset profile data is then analyzed using one or more of secrets distribution factors to determine what secrets the requesting virtual asset legitimately needs. Authorized secrets data for the requesting virtual asset representing one or more authorized secrets is then generated. The requesting virtual asset is then provided access to the authorized secrets data.
