Zusammenfassung:A method for sharing secret data between multiple containers. In response to the initial booting of an operating system instance in a container, a unique operating system identifier is generated for the operating system instance. A grant authority stores the unique operating system identifier in a reserved area of a secure storage device. In response to a request from the operating system instance to access secret data in the secure storage device, the grant authority determines whether the unique operating system identifier is stored in the secure storage device. The operating system instance may be granted access to secret data in the non-reserved area of the secure storage device.
