Premise

Zero-trust PKI infrastructure for all certificate needs

Goals

  • Root CA offline, Issuing CA for daily operations

  • Automated cert renewal for 802.1X endpoints

  • Short-lived certificates (8h-30d based on use case)

Current State

Production - 802.1X, SSH, TLS certs all issued from Vault

Next Steps

  • Add ACME protocol support

  • Implement certificate transparency logging

Architecture Notes

3-node Raft: vault-01 (leader) ↔ vault-02 ↔ vault-03
