Description
Description
- Some security shops require key rotation on a periodic basis. We have no easy way to rotate keys... especially if the minion is not connected at the time of rotation.
- If a minion is offline when the master rotates its key, there is no way to get it after the fact... the minion will not be able to reconnect to the master after the master has rotated its key. This is a problem with Windows Desktops/Laptops that aren't ALWAYS connected to the master.
Suggested solution:
- Some sort of key management system that allows for expiring and future keys. The system would handle key rotation.
