We are excited to share a visualisation and brief breakdown of the KMS general architecture we’ve been working on for the Allegro project.
The KMS operates as a distributed network service, organised into a multi-instance ring architecture. At the heart of this design lies a core (inner) ring, which hosts critical system groups such as:
- Nodes
- Policies
- Security Hardware
Surrounding this is the outer ring, responsible for interconnections. These rings are strictly isolated from each other to maintain system integrity and security — no bypasses allowed.
The architecture further distinguishes between: 🔐 Key Management System (KMS) components:
- Authority Linkage (Auth)
- Key Generators (KG)
- Crypto Engines (CE)
🖥️ Subscriber Entities:
- Devices (D)
- Security Providers (SP)
- Network Specific Services (NSS)
All interconnected under a structured operational scheme driven by:
- Network Access Policy (N)
- Security Policy (P)
- Usage Policy (U)
📊 [Refer to Figure 33 for the system visualisation]
This layered, policy-driven architecture ensures resilience, security, and scalability for future-proof network services.
Looking forward to sharing more progress as Allegro evolves!
