Overview

baseca is a gRPC service that serves as a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) control plane that issues short-lived x.509 certificates at runtime using attestation.

Use Cases

baseca integrates with AWS Private CA and becomes as a management layer and a Certificate Authority; instead of issuing leaf certificates directly from Private CA, baseca issues and manages Subordinate Certificate Authorities from upstream used to sign requests depending on the scope of a service account.
