PKCS#11 interface

1 Hardware Security Module with support for deterministic ECDSA (NIST P-256) with HMAC-SHA256 and ed25519 (PureEdDSA).

Infrastructure hosting requirements

Indicate requirements for infrastructure hosting, scoping by the above indicated infrastructure elements, as necessary. 

 

Hosting requirements

All systems

Availability

 "lots of nines"

Backup (what, frequency, retention period)

 Configuration only (/etc), daily

Monitoring and alerting1

  • ICMP, TCP and HTTPS reachability
  • I/O performance
  • STH freshness (warning 1h, error 4h, critical 12h)
  • Cert submission (every 10 min)

Measuring and Reporting2

 

Log retention3

 

Security policy for access and usage4

 

 

1 At minimum network accessibility (outside of LAN) and hardware resource usage must be monitored. Indicate if some of this resources can be deemed critical so that adequate thresholds for alerting are implemented. Additional, indicate which specific applications uptime and operational health must be monitored and alerting implemented.

2Define what should be measured, how and with what period in order to deliver appropriate reporting relating to KPIs, usage, etc.  

3Define which logs should be kept in order to have debugging data and data in case of misuse of the service, and how long logs should be retained

4Define the policy for limiting accessing to the infrastructure piece and where it should be implemented (system level, network level etc.)

System and Application maintenance requirements

Indicate requirements for system and application maintenance, scoping by the indicated infrastructure elements, as necessary.

Operating system

   Linux with proper Docker support

Applications1

   N/A
Maintenance hours2   None – maintenance is performed on parts of the log but not affecting the service

Configuration management3

 

Docker containers deployed and run by cosmos + Puppet (i.e. multiverse) 

 

1 List the applications installed on a system, and add corresponding licenses where applicable.

2 Define window appropriate for regular maintenance. /give some recommendations3 Applies for automatized configuration management. Describe system used.

Human resources requirements

Indicate requirements both in skills and manpower needed, for personnel needed for devops team (that maintains service specific applications) and for L2 support.
