Abstract
This blueprint is for creating a Barbican crypto plugin so that Barbican deployments can use the RedHat DogTag Data Recovery Manager (DRM) as a key management back-end.
Description
To support a RedHat DRM as a key management back-end, changes will be needed relative to 2 main workflows:
- Creating a secret
- NOTE: Between Barbican and DRM will be the DogTag plugin to integrate with DRM.
- Retrieving a secret
Proposed Changes
- Crypto Plugin interface
- modify create() method to return the encrypted datum (vs the current raw data). It should have the same return contract as the encrypt() method (i.e. the secret generation and the secret encryption operations will be combined).
- new method() to return a transport key
- python-barbicanclient
- Modify to support retrieving a transport key for encryption and decryption between Barbican client and Barbican
- Barbican
- New resource to retrieve a transport key
