[Task 34] Implement REST Interface

[thejhh]

Overview

Implement a RESTful interface for the Gomiddleman proxy to support dynamic certificate management. This interface will enable clients to send their certificates to Gomiddleman and receive a processed version. Additionally, it should allow for direct transmission of certificates and keys to Gomiddleman for further operations.

Objectives

• Develop a REST API for Gomiddleman to accept client certificates.
• Enable the API to return a Gomiddleman-processed version of the certificates to the client.
• Allow the API to accept certificates and keys directly for processing by Gomiddleman.

Requirements

• Certificate Submission Endpoint: Create an endpoint for clients to submit their certificates to Gomiddleman. This endpoint must securely accept certificate data and validate its integrity.

• Processed Certificate Retrieval: Implement a mechanism for clients to retrieve their Gomiddleman-processed certificates. Ensure this process is secure and verifies client identity before returning data.

• Direct Certificate and Key Submission: Design an endpoint to receive certificates and keys directly from clients for processing. This endpoint must ensure the security and confidentiality of the submitted data.

• Version Reporting: Include an endpoint to report the current version of Gomiddleman. This will assist in troubleshooting and managing compatibility.

Security Considerations

• Implement robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure endpoints.
• Ensure all data transmissions are encrypted using industry-standard protocols.
• Validate all input data to prevent injection attacks and ensure data integrity.

Success Criteria

• A RESTful interface for Gomiddleman is fully implemented and documented.
• The interface securely manages certificate and key submissions, processing, and retrieval.
• The Gomiddleman version can be easily queried through the API.

This task is critical for enhancing Gomiddleman's operational flexibility and security capabilities. Implementing this interface will significantly improve our infrastructure's resilience and adaptability to dynamic security requirements.
