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 processor, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
- 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;
- 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.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor from a device via a brokering agent, a request to initiate a state progression from a current state to a target state, wherein the current state corresponds to a current set of secrets data inserted on the device;
- determining, by the processor, whether to authorize the request;
- and
- in response to authorizing the request, transitioning, by the processor, the device from the current state to the target 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:
- 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;
- 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.
