Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatus to provide a distributed domain authority ('DA') for management of DA certificates, client host end-entity certificates, and DA key pairs for secure communication within a provider network. In accordance with the disclosed implementations, each of a plurality of hardware security modules (“HSM”) performs the role of DA and issues end-entity certificates to individual HSMs and client hosts communicating with the HSMs. The private key of a DA key pair never leaves the HSM set in plaintext form and the DA key pair and its corresponding DA certificate are rotated periodically (e.g., daily, weekly) as part of a domain state rotation.
