Abstract
Secrets data representing one or more secrets required to access associated resources is provided along with secrets distribution policy data representing one or more secrets distribution factors used to control the distribution of the secrets. When a requesting virtual asset submits secrets request data, virtual asset profile data associated with the requesting virtual asset is obtained. The requesting virtual asset profile data is then analyzed using at least one of the secrets distribution factors to authenticate the requesting virtual asset. The requesting virtual asset profile data is then analyzed using one or more of secrets distribution factors to determine what secrets the requesting virtual asset legitimately needs. Authorized secrets data for the requesting virtual asset representing one or more authorized secrets is then generated. The requesting virtual asset is then provided access to the authorized secrets data.
