+# Secure Key Management
+
+## Proposer ##
+Michael Marchetti
+
+## Type ##
+**Feature**
+
+## Target MDG/TF ##
+SO,RO,VCA
+
+## Description ##
+
+Please refer to this presentation:
+https://docbox.etsi.org/OSG/OSM/05-CONTRIBUTIONS/2017
+//OSM(17)000023_ssh_key_management_in_osm_release_1.pptx
+
+This feature relates to the usage of proxy charms and allowing a proxy charm (charm container)
+ssh access to a VNF virtual machine.  As outlined in the presentation, the proxy charm container
+needs a private key that matches the injected public key in the VNF virtual machine.
+
+This feature highlights some questions:
+- should the private key be injected into the container or be self generated?
+- how does the associated public key get injected into the VNF VM?
+- all aspects of the key methodology should be transparent to the user
+  (user should not have to manually add keys to the system).
+
+It is expected that interactions between SO, RO and VCA will be necessary in order order to
+orchestratrate the keys between the proxy charm and VNF.
+
+Also of concern is accessibility to the ssh private key.  Some consideration should be made for who
+has access to the private key.  When a user runs "juju config 'application'" inside the VCA or via
+REST, should the private keys be visible?
+
+## Demo or definition of done ##
+
+A test case involves a VNF VM with a proxy charm,  utilzing the sshproxy charm.  The proxy charm
+is invoked on configuration changes and performs an ssh remote session to the VNF VM.  The
+private/public key between the proxy charm container and the VNF VM would have be automatically
+deployed allowing this ssh remote session (without passwords) to commence.
