MULTIFUNCTIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF A VIRTUAL COMPUTING NODE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G06F21/44 H04L29/06 

FIELD: cryptography.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to credentials checked by a cryptographic method, selected in the corresponding namespace, for a virtual computing node in the provider's networks. System for assigning, managing and using credentials that are verified by a cryptographic method, contains a set of virtual hosts of the virtual computing services of the provider's network, which contain the first virtual host containing one or more virtual computing nodes, while the virtual computing node provides information about the first identity verified by a cryptographic method (CVI) assigned to a specific virtual computing node inside the first virtual node identity namespace (IIN) in response to the first identity request from the first authenticator associated with the first application performs one or more operations of the first application in response to determining that the first CVI was received by the first authenticator, provides information on different CVIs assigned to the first virtual computing node within different IINs, in response to a second credential request from the second authenticator associated with the second application, and performs one or more operations of the second application in response to determining that the second CVI was received by the second authenticator.

EFFECT: providing support for secure mechanisms used to verify identity issued to a resource.
