A system and method for accessing and using one or more networked services of a cloud computing infrastructure by a user of a client computer includes an identity-based access management system that is configured to receive a request for a session via an API to use a specific service of the one or more networked services. A credential store includes a credential library that receives and stores credentials for authorizing and enabling the session with the specific service of the one or more networked services. A target service is configured to authorize and enable the session based on the received credentials. A secrets management system is configured to authenticate the user and the client computer to access and use the specific service authorized by the target service, and to generate a lease to a credential that is transmitted to the client computer to authorize the session with the specific service.

Cloud-based secrets management credential store

A process and mechanism, such as a system and/or computer-implemented method, for establishing verified and trusted communications between an upstream and a downstream node in a network or across many nodes in a multi-hop fashion, without needing direct communications from the downstream node to a central authority. Only a single node needs direct communications with the central authority, which may be the central authority itself acting in this capacity. Any other node in the network can connect to a node that is already verified, establish mutual trust, and itself become 'upstream' to a new node or set of nodes. This process and mechanism can apply to any two nodes that are configured to communicate given the same set of conditions without any explicit or implicit multi-hop capability, however, the present process and mechanism is most applicable in multi-hop systems.

Zero-trust multi-hop authentication and authorization

A system, method, and computer program product for self-identification of a device. The disclosure utilizes generation of a public/private key pair, within the device itself, and completes at least a portion of an authentication process within the device itself using a securely stored private key that never leaves the device. By not transferring the private key away from the device, potential vulnerabilities of known systems due to transfer of identification information during or after manufacturing is effectively eliminated.
