Boundary leveraging and integrating with SPIFFE ID/SPIRE

Are there plans to integrate and/or leverage Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone (SPIFFE) with boundary? The SPIFFE standard defines how services identify themselves to each other. SPIFFE ID is a string that uniquely and specifically identifies a workload.

Thought there could be significant synergies between boundary and SPIFFE.

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, we have considered SPIFFE integrations with Boundary, but are not committed to any single direction (since there are many). SPIFFE is more intentioned to work machine-to-machine, though there are exceptions to that - Boundary is more focused on human-to-machine. Do you have a specific use-case you'd like to see implemented?

Closing this issue for now but will reopen if there is a specific use-case for SPIFFE required.
