Abstract
A platform identifier for a first node may be determined based on hardware characteristics of the first node. The platform identifier may be sent to a certification service via non-network communication. Certificate information associated with the platform identifier may be received from the certification service via non-network communication. A key pair may be generated at a first node application enclave of the first node. The key pair may include a public key of the first node and an associated private key of the first node. A request to generate a signed digital certificate may be sent to a digital certificate manager, the request including the public key of the first node and the certificate information. A signed digital certificate including the public key and the certificate information may be received from the digital certificate manager, and the signed digital certificate may be stored at the first node application enclave.
