[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-10429) KeyStores should have methods to generate the materials themselves, KeyShell should use them

Alejandro Abdelnur created HADOOP-10429:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: KeyStores should have methods to generate the materials themselves, KeyShell should use them
                 Key: HADOOP-10429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10429
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
            Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur


Currently, the {{KeyProvider}} API expects the caller to provide the key materials. And, the {{KeyShell}} generates key materials.

For security reasons, {{KeyProvider}} implementations may want to generate and hide (from the user generating the key) the key materials.
