In one embodiment, a method comprises: securing, by a security agent executed within a network device, first secure data structures for secure storage in the network device and second secure data structures for secure communications in a secure peer-to-peer data network; monitoring, by the security agent, a corresponding mandatory lifecycle policy for each of the first secure data structures; and cryptographically erasing one of the first secure data structures in response to expiration of the corresponding mandatory lifecycle policy.

A secure keyboard resource executed in a network device detects a user input, and generates a user input data structure representing the user input relative to input options presented to the user, the user input data structure based on the secure keyboard resource identifying a position of the user input relative to the input options. The secure keyboard resource sends the user input data structure to one or more executable destination resources, having requested supply of the user input data structure responsive to a user selection, only via a corresponding data path providing the destination resource with access to the user input data structure, for execution of a service by the one or more executable destination resources based on the user input data structure. The secure keyboard resource thus minimizes spying by limiting access of the user input data structure to the destination resource via the data path.

Secure access recovery to a network device includes encrypting a user password into an encrypted target password using a secret regenerative key, and adding a one-time password seed and the encrypted target password into a secure recovery container, which is stored securely in the network device and a trusted recovery device. In response to a recovery request, a one-time password can be generated using the one-time password seed to retrieve the encrypted target password from the recovery device. A decrypted recovery password is generated based on executing decryption on an input string based on the secret regenerative key. The encrypted target password, retrieved from the secure recovery container in the network device, is decrypted into a decrypted target password based on the secret regenerative key. Secure access is recovered in response to determining the decrypted recovery password matches at least a part of the decrypted target password.
