Integrated Service Registry and Discovery for Secure Secret Management in Dynamic Microservice Environments
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Software design has been changed by microservices, which allow for freedom and growth across sectors.However, in dynamic situations, this design makes it difficult to safely handle secrets and ensure smooth inter-service contact.HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and other standard secret management systems frequently depend on external service directories for service finding.That increases practical complexity and adds possible points of failure.In this work, we study these problems and provide a unique solution.Our solution is to merge a small service registry and discovery right into the secret management system.This combined method maintains operational resilience and scalability in microservice designs.It is going to make operations easier, cut down on dependency chains, and improve security through secure service discovery.Our prototype offers a workable answer for safe secret management in dynamic cloud-native systems by showing decreased delay, increased availability, and better control without losing security.
