Abstract
A system and method facilitating secure credential management is provided. An aspect of the present invention provides for a credential management system including a credential user interface component, a trusted proxy component and a secure user interface component. The system can facilitate the secure acquisition, storage and/or application of credential(s) for a user (e.g., when accessing a particular resource) through a secure, isolated environment. For example, the system can be a core building block for operating system component(s) and/or application(s) that handle credential(s) in a secure manner.
