Abstract

A CIM, according to one approach, includes: issuing, from a first microservice, a handshake request to a second microservice. In response, a verification request is received at the first microservice from the second microservice. Moreover, in response to receiving the verification request, a first secure element correlated with the first microservice produces credentials associated with the first microservice. The first secure element signs the credentials using a cryptographic key assigned to the first microservice. Furthermore, the signed credentials are sent to the second microservice.
