Cloud computing technology is an internet-based computing model that provides high reliability and security measures, including data backup, secure access control, etc. As Docker containers play a increasingly important role in traditional cloud computing architectures, the communication needs between containers become prominent. However, existing container to container communication mainly relies on network protocols for file transfer, making it difficult to achieve the expected results in cloud cluster security. Therefore, this paper primarily focuses on container based keys and proposes a container identity trusted key management method based on Pervasive container computing architecture. The experimental results demonstrate that the container identity trusted key management method not only meets the security transmission characteristics required in the container cloud architecture, but also adopts a strategy combined with trusted hardware, providing security guarantees. In addition, the method proposed in this article that combines trusted hardware for signature verification can defend against multiple network attacks compared to traditional container architectures without using security policies.
