The invention relates to the technical field of
information security, in particular to a cluster self-discovery method suitable for a
cloud server cipher machine, which comprises the following steps: when physical equipment of the
cloud server cipher machine leaves a factory, a
certificate management module generates an equipment
certificate and a root CA
certificate in combination with an enterprise CA
system, and stores the equipment certificate and the root CA certificate; after the virtual
cipher machine is created and started, the
key management service module combines with the certificate management module to generate a
virtual machine certificate, and stores the
virtual machine certificate, the storage device certificate and the root CA certificate together; the cluster management
service module enables the master node of the virtual cipher machine to discover the slave node of the virtual cipher machine in the same
network domain through UDP broadcast, and executes three-level
verification on the slave node of the virtual cipher machine from three aspects of an equipment certificate, a
virtual machine certificate and an
authentication signature; and the virtual cipher machine master node synchronizes the cluster
master key to the virtual cipher machine slave node passing
verification. According to the invention, hierarchical identity isolation and
verification of the
cloud server cipher machine host and the virtual cipher machine can be realized, and the security of cluster self-discovery and
authentication stages is ensured.
