Dynamic Secrets

IAM concepts
Dynamic secrets are temporary passwords or keys that your systems generate on-demand every time a program requests access. Unlike static secrets (which persist until someone manually changes them), dynamic secrets have a limited lifespan and automatically expire after use. This significantly reduces the risk of exposure if they are ever compromised.

Decommission

Security concepts
Decommissioning refers to the systematic process of retiring digital identities, credentials, and access permissions when they are no longer needed.

Daemon Identity

Identity types
A daemon identity represents the unique ID and permissions assigned to a background process or service that runs without any human interaction. These daemon applications run continuously on servers or in the cloud, handling tasks like backups, data synchronization, and automated monitoring.

Device Identity

AI/MCP Concepts
Device identity refers to the unique, verifiable characteristics that allow an organization to recognize a device as legitimate. It is the foundation for determining whether a laptop, mobile phone, server, or IoT endpoint should be allowed to access corporate networks, applications, or data.

Deep Learning

AI/MCP Concepts
Deep learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses multi-layered neural networks to learn complex patterns from large amounts of data. It enables machines to perform tasks such as image recognition, natural language understanding, and decision-making without explicit human programming.

Digital Certificate

Identity types
A digital document used to certify the authenticity of a machine or entity, typically issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
