Summary:Certificate System - Key Recovery Authority
Description:
The Key Recovery Authority (KRA) is an optional PKI subsystem that can act
as a key archival facility.  When configured in conjunction with the
Certificate Authority (CA), the KRA stores private encryption keys as part of
the certificate enrollment process.  The key archival mechanism is triggered
when a user enrolls in the PKI and creates the certificate request.  Using the
Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) request format, a request is
generated for the user's private encryption key.  This key is then stored in
the KRA which is configured to store keys in an encrypted format that can only
be decrypted by several agents requesting the key at one time, providing for
protection of the public encryption keys for the users in the PKI deployment.

Note that the KRA archives encryption keys; it does NOT archive signing keys,
since such archival would undermine non-repudiation properties of signing keys.

This package is one of the top-level java-based Tomcat PKI subsystems
provided by the PKI Core used by the Certificate System.


==================================
||  ABOUT "CERTIFICATE SYSTEM"  ||
==================================

Certificate System (CS) is an enterprise software system designed
to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

PKI Core contains ALL top-level java-based Tomcat PKI components:

  * pki-symkey
  * pki-base
  * pki-base-python2 (alias for pki-base)
  * pki-base-python3
  * pki-base-java
  * pki-tools
  * pki-server
  * pki-ca
  * pki-kra
  * pki-ocsp
  * pki-tks
  * pki-tps
  * pki-javadoc

which comprise the following corresponding PKI subsystems:

  * Certificate Authority (CA)
  * Key Recovery Authority (KRA)
  * Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Manager
  * Token Key Service (TKS)
  * Token Processing Service (TPS)

Python clients need only install the pki-base package.  This
package contains the python REST client packages and the client
upgrade framework.

Java clients should install the pki-base-java package.  This package
contains the legacy and REST Java client packages.  These clients
should also consider installing the pki-tools package, which contain
native and Java-based PKI tools and utilities.

Certificate Server instances require the fundamental classes and
modules in pki-base and pki-base-java, as well as the utilities in
pki-tools.  The main server classes are in pki-server, with subsystem
specific Java classes and resources in pki-ca, pki-kra, pki-ocsp etc.

Finally, if Certificate System is being deployed as an individual or
set of standalone rather than embedded server(s)/service(s), it is
strongly recommended (though not explicitly required) to include at
least one PKI Theme package:

  * dogtag-pki-theme (Dogtag Certificate System deployments)
    * dogtag-pki-server-theme
  * redhat-pki-server-theme (Red Hat Certificate System deployments)
    * redhat-pki-server-theme
  * customized pki theme (Customized Certificate System deployments)
    * <customized>-pki-server-theme

  NOTE:  As a convenience for standalone deployments, top-level meta
         packages may be provided which bind a particular theme to
         these certificate server packages.
