Project

vault-tpm-helper

A Go application that authenticates to HashiCorp Vault using TPM-protected private keys, enabling secure machine identity for on-premise workloads without distributing long-lived secrets. It solves the "Secret Zero" problem by leveraging hardware-backed cryptographic keys stored in Trusted Platform Modules, eliminating the need for manual credential rotation and filesystem-based secret storage.

Badge Details

vault-tpm-helper is a Go application that uses TPM 2.0 hardware to authenticate with HashiCorp Vault using certificate-based authentication, eliminating the need to store long-lived secrets on disk. The project addresses the 'Secret Zero' problem for on-premise workloads by leveraging hardware-backed cryptographic keys that never leave the TPM.
