Security method for software container based on credential discovery
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013928B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for enhancing security within a software container environment. The method involves discovering credentials expected to be used at runtime, determining unsafe credentials that do not meet predefined safety criteria, intercepting runtime requests to detect credential violations, and taking corrective actions based on the detected violations. The system aims to prevent unauthorized access and enhance overall security by dynamically managing credentials within the container environment.
Furthermore, the patent details a credential safety management system that includes processing circuitry and a runtime service to facilitate the secure handling of credentials within software containers. By discovering credentials pre-runtime, determining unsafe sets, and performing corrective actions based on violations, the system ensures that only safe credentials are utilized during runtime. With a focus on credential strength, retrievability, reuse, and exhaustion, the system aims to mitigate security risks associated with unauthorized credential usage, providing a robust security framework for software containers in various computing environments.
