-# Overview
-
-Puppet relies on standards wherever possible.  In the case of security, it uses 
-standard SSL certificates for client and server verification.  Because of the
-cost of buying signed certificates for every client and the complexity of
-managing your own certificate authority (CA), Puppet includes its own CA.
-This CA has been optimized for use with Puppet but could also be used to
-generate certificates for other purposes.  The primary goal in certificate
-management within Puppet has been to keep it simple, and wherever possible to
-not make it even noticeable.
-
-# Certificates
-
-
-## Authentication
-
-Certificates are the only method of authentication -- if a client's
-certificate can be verified using standard SSL verification mechanisms, then
-it is considered authenticated.
-
-## Client Certificate Generation
-
-The Puppet server, ``puppetmasterd``, is normally also the CA.  Clients who
-do not yet have signed certificates will automatically generate a key pair and
-a certificate request, and then will connect to the server and provide it
-with the certificate request.  If the server has ``autosign`` turned on (which
-is not necessarily recommended), then the autosign configuration file (which
-defaults to ``/etc/puppet/autosign.conf``) is checked for whether the client's
-name matches any contents.  For instance, take the following configuration
-file:
-    
-    hostname.domain.com
-    *.secure.domain.com
-
-This configuration would autosign certificate requests for
-``hostname.domain.com`` and any hosts coming from ``*.secure.domain.com``.
-
-This configuration file is read each time a signature is asked for, so changes
-to it can be short-lived and will be immediately noticed.
-
-# Server-Side Certificate Management
-
-In the normal case, certificate auto-signing will be disabled.  In these
-cases, certificates will have to be signed using the ``puppetca`` utility.
-Prior to the 1.0 release it is expected that there will be email notification
-of certificate requests waiting to be signed, but for now either the logs
-must be watched or ``puppetca --list`` can be used list waiting requests.
-
-Once a request arrives, ``puppetca --sign <hostname>`` can be used to sign the
-request.  Adding the ``--all`` flag will sign all outstanding requests.
-
-# Access and Authorization
-
-Puppet currently has few network functions, so security has so far been
-treated by them individually.  It is expected that there will be some
-system-wide security hooks prior to the 1.0 release, but the certificate
-authentication already provides significant security.
-
-Recommendations on approaches are heartily recommended.
