Pull request overview
Adds a design document describing an MSI v2 “in-memory/exportable RSA key” approach (as an alternative to the KeyGuard/non-exportable key path), including a .NET reference, proposed Python flow, tradeoffs, and a suggested API surface.
Changes:
- Introduces a new design doc outlining an exportable, cross-platform MSI v2 key strategy.
- Provides illustrative Python snippets for key generation, CSR creation, IMDS calls, mTLS token acquisition, and resource calls.
- Documents a comparison table and proposed API behavior toggling between KeyGuard+attestation vs in-memory.
