Prototype using client certificates for service authentication #38

Open rtyler opened 3 years ago

rtyler commented 3 years ago

The service mesh needs some common way of performing authentication, and potentially authorization.

Right now I am thinking that client certificates may fit the bill, assuming that each service's is rooted in a shared certificate authority that is generated for the service mesh.

I think/hope that this will also make it feasible for each service to use TLS by default.
