Description

This JIRA proposes to add an interface specification that can be programmed against by Datanodes and Ozone Manager and other clients that want to use the certificate-based security features of HDDS.

We will also add a Certificate Server interface, this interface can be used to use non-SCM based CA or if we need to use HSM based secret storage services.

At this point, it is simply an interface and nothing more. Thanks to xyao for suggesting this idea.
