Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 19:45:36 UTC
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/key-distribution-server.

Description:

MessageSecurity requires a central repository to register service identies, manage grou pof sevices and store shared keys,a s well as provide a ticketing system to allow secure communication between parties (signing and optionally encryption services).
The Key Distribution Server manages the ticketing system and stores shared keys between the Server itself and the registered servies. It may also store temporary group keys.

This server is necessary for the implementation of https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MessageSecurity

Comment 2 Nathan Kinder 2014-02-27 01:28:11 UTC
This was pulled out of Icehouse for a few reasons.  For one, it wasn't going to be completed in time.  There is also quite a bit of debate about where this will ultimately live.  It looks like it will not ever be a part of Keystone (it might live in Barbican, or stand on it's own).

Closing this as WONTFIX.
