Stop Managing Secrets.
Start Using Identity.
Static client_id/client_secret credentials sit in configs for months. One leak, and attackers have permanent access.
What ZeroSecret Does
Replace vulnerable static credentials with cryptographically strong, short-lived SPIFFE identities for your workloads.
SPIFFE-Based Identity
Workloads prove identity with cryptographic SVIDs, not shared secrets. Each identity is unique, unforgeable, and automatically rotated.
5-Minute Token TTL
Tokens expire in minutes, not months. Even if compromised, the blast radius is minimal. No more "90-day secret rotation" toil.
Zero Rotation Burden
SPIFFE handles key rotation automatically. Your ops team stops fighting credential rotation tickets and starts shipping features.
OAuth-Compatible
Drop-in replacement for client_id/client_secret flows. Your existing OAuth integrations work unchanged, but now with identity-based auth.
Why SPIFFE-Based Identity Matters
Traditional OAuth relies on static secrets that become liabilities. SPIFFE flips the model: prove identity, don't share secrets.
| Aspect | Traditional OAuth | ZeroSecret |
|---|---|---|
| Credential Lifespan | 90+ days static secrets | 5-minute dynamic tokens |
| Rotation | Manual, error-prone, toil-heavy | Automatic, continuous, zero-touch |
| Compromise Impact | Full access until detected & rotated | Minutes of exposure, auto-expires |
| Identity Proof | Shared secret (anyone with string has access) | Cryptographic SVID (only workload can prove) |
| Audit Trail | Which service used the secret? | Exact workload, exact time, exact scope |
