Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for secure access management for tools within a secure environment. A virtual file system for a user in memory on a server side in the secure environment is accessed as part of an authenticated user session including a user command instigated by a user. At the virtual file system, an encrypted file stored in the secure environment is obtained, where the file is encrypted using a public key of a user. A read operation at the virtual file system of the encrypted file is intercepted and the encrypted file is sent to a client at a user system external to the secure environment over a secure connection for decryption by a remote cryptography device of the user system using the user's private key. The decrypted file is then received at the virtual file system enabling the user to run the required user command.
