Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamically binding network endpoints via key distribution are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions that cause the IHS to: obtain a network binding map indicating a flat or hierarchical structure of a plurality of endpoints of a network; obtain a respective plurality of cryptographic keys for the plurality of endpoints; and distribute one or more keys of the plurality of cryptographic keys to individual endpoints based, at least in part, on the network binding map. In some embodiments, the program instructions further cause the IHS to: distribute, to individual endpoints, only the one or more keys associated with one or more other endpoints, of plurality of endpoints, to which the respective individual endpoint is bound, according to the network binding map.
