Abstract: Systems and methods for a control plane to cryptographically trust and revoke the trust of anonymous software artifacts or devices are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause a control plane of the IHS to: receive an anonymous token of a distributed anonymous token set package from a requestor; verify the anonymous token; and subsequent to verifying the anonymous token, establish a trust relationship with the requestor.

In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause a control plane of the IHS to: establish a trust relationship with a requesting entity based, at least in part, on a received anonymous token of a distributed anonymous token set package; receive a second request from the requesting entity; and subsequent to the second request, determine to revoke the trust relationship with the requesting entity.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a data center monitoring and management operation. The data center monitoring and management operation includes: submitting a request for a workload instance to a cloud service provider; establishing a secure communication channel between the cloud service provider and a data center monitoring and management console; exchanging information between the cloud service provider and the data center monitoring and management console via the secure communication channel, the information including a verifiable workload instance identity; and, using the verifiable workload instance identity to authenticate a workload instance provided by the cloud service provider.
