Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to determine that a secure domain has been created on a device, where keys are required to access the secure domain, obtain the keys that are required to access the secure domain from a network element, and encrypt the keys and store the encrypted keys on the device. In an example, only the secure domain can decrypt the encrypted keys and the device is a virtual machine.
Claims25
At least one machine readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- determine that a secure domain has been created on a device in a cloud network, wherein keys are required to access the secure domain;
- obtain the keys that are required to access the secure domain from a network element;
- and
- encrypt the keys and store the encrypted keys on the device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a secure domain manager, wherein the secure domain manager is configured to:
- determine that a secure domain has been created on a device, wherein keys are required to access the secure domain;
- obtain the keys that are required to access the secure domain from a network element;
- and
- encrypt the keys and store the encrypted keys on the device.
A method comprising:
- determining that a secure domain has been created on a device, wherein keys are required to access the secure domain;
- obtaining the keys that are required to access the secure domain from a network element;
- and
- encrypting the keys and store the encrypted keys on the device.
A system for migrating a secure domain, the system comprising:
- a secure domain manager, wherein the secure domain manager is configured to:
- determine that a secure domain has been created on a device, wherein keys are required to access the secure domain;
- obtain the keys that are required to access the secure domain from a network element;
- encrypt the keys and store the encrypted keys on the device;
- and
- migrate the secure domain to a target device.
