Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling secure dynamic credential distribution to a machine over a network are provided. In various embodiments, a computer, into which logging or access is sought, distributes logon credentials automatically to a requestor over the network before logon. Based on pre-existing trust, the computer self-generates and self-distributes logon credentials to the requestor, whereby the logon credentials are not stored on the requestor device.
