Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the approval of new computing elements for a private network. In one implementation, an administrator computing device in a private network is configured to receive a notification for a computing element to join the private network, wherein the notification includes a public key for the computing element and supplemental information for the computing element. The administrator computing device further identifies input indicating that the computing element is approved for the private network and, in response to the input, signs at least the public key. Once signed, the administrator computing device distributes the signed public key to one or more other computing elements in the private network.
