1. An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory;
wherein the information handling system is configured to:
store a cryptographic lockbox that is a component of a virtual machine, wherein the cryptographic lockbox is secured by a set of secrets and is accessible from the virtual machine, and wherein the set of secrets comprises a first subset of one or more secrets based on a hardware environment of the information handling system and a second subset of one or more secrets based on a virtualized environment associated with the virtual machine, wherein the second subset is inaccessible to non-privileged users of the information handling system;
migrate the virtual machine to a different information handling system, wherein the migration is configured not to alter the second subset; and
access the cryptographic lockbox from the migrated virtual machine.
