Publication number: 20200097315Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enabling public key infrastructure (PKI) in the generic could environment and the network function virtualization (NFV) environment. A host device may receive, from an orchestrator of a computer network environment, an indication of a workload to be executed by a virtual machine (VM) hosted on the host device, where the indication includes an identifier of the workload. The VM may transmit a request for a certificate to a hardware security module associated with the host device including the identifier of the workload. After transmitting the request for the certificate, the VM may receive the requested certificate from the HSM. In some cases, the VM may determine a private key associated with the workload and include the private key within the request for the certificate. Additionally or alternatively, the HSM may determine the private key. Here, the HSM may include the private key within the certificate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2019Publication date: March 26, 2020Inventors: IGOR FAYNBERG, STEVEN J. GOERINGER
