Explain requirements when creating a certificate

zr-msft opened this issue · comments

From a thread in the notary-project slack channel

When creating a certificate for Notation, does the private key need to be exportable?

The default is exportable in AKV when create a new certificate. It should be marked as unexportable for code signing scenario, since once it is exportable, it could be retrieved accidently or intentionally by client, thus leaking the private key. Then it's a security issue. We want the private key to be stored securely. This is one goal to be achieved by using KMS.
