API for accessing the key manager.
The entry point into this API is the KeyManagerAPI
. It provides a generic way
to manage a KeyStore
either in the local file system or on a remote key-server
(as shown in Deployment scenarios).
An application server using Cumulus4j is only able to read or write data, when the key manager grants access to keys. In order to control this access, crypto-sessions are used (not to be confused with a servlet's session): An application server can only request a key from a key manager, when the crypto-session exists and is unlocked. Usually, a client will first unlock the session, then send a request to the app server and when the app server responded, lock the session, again. Thus most of the time, a key manager will reject access to keys, even while a connection between app server and key manager exists.
