Abstract
A credential store provides for secure storage of credentials. A credential stored in the credential store is encrypted with the public key of a user owning the credential. A first user may provide a credential owned by the first user to a second user. The first user may add credentials owned by the first user to the credential store. An administrator may manage users of the credential store without having the ability to provide credentials to those users.
