Spire and Spiffy are cloud-native security projects that aim to provide automated, API-driven verification of identities for every component of a system, enabling fine-grained access control and zero trust security.
- Observing the evolution of software architectures and the need for zero trust security in cloud-native systems led to the development of Spire and Spiffy
- Fine-grained workload identity is crucial for achieving zero trust security
- Automating security and offloading it as a function of the platform can improve developer productivity and operational efficiency
- Short-lived, cryptographically verifiable identities can solve the problem of protecting key material
- Spire and Spiffy provide a plug-in interface for changing credential details and advanced authorization rules engines for access control
