Summary: Dogtag PKI KRA Package

Description: 

The Key Recovery Authority (KRA) is an optional Dogtag 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 Dogtag 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 Dogtag 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.
