Abstract
A system includes a memory device and a processor, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including receiving, from a device via a brokering agent, a request to provide an encrypted version of a set of secrets data corresponding to a target state of the device, determining whether to authorize the request in view of the brokering agent, and in response to authorizing the request, providing the encrypted version of the set of secrets data and permission to transition to the target state.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
- authorizing a request to provide a set of secrets data corresponding to a target device supply chain state associated with a supply chain of a device;
- and
- in response to authorizing the request, providing the set of secrets data and permission for the device to transition to the target device supply chain state.
A method comprising:
- authorizing, by a processing device, a request to initiate a state progression from a current device supply chain state associated with a supply chain of a device to a target device supply chain state associated with the supply chain of the device, wherein the current device supply chain state corresponds to a current set of secrets data inserted on the device;
- and
- in response to authorizing the request, transitioning, by the processing device, the device from the current device supply chain state to the target device supply chain state.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- authorizing a request to provide a set of secrets data corresponding to a target device supply chain state associated with a supply chain of a device;
- and
- in response to authorizing the request, providing the set of secrets data and permission to transition to the target device supply chain state.
