-Milagro D-TA is a collaborative key management server
+The Apache Milagro (Incubating) Decentralized Trust Authority (D-TA) is a
collaborative key management server.
-Milagro D-TA facilitates secure and auditable communication between people who
to use key pairs (Principal) and service providers who can keep the secret keys
safe (Master Fiduciary). It is written in Go and uses REST services based on
the [GoKit microservices framework](https://gokit.io), it uses IPFS to create a
shared immutable log of transactions and relies on Milagro-Crypto-C for it's
crypto.

## Plugins
-Milagro D-TA provides a basic set of services for creating identities for
actors in the system, and passing encrypted communication between them but it
assumes that different service providers will have their own "special sauce"
for securely storing secret keys, so the vanilla services can be extended using
a plugin framework. Two basic plugins are included in this release to give you
an idea of how this can be done.

1. **BitcoinPlugin** Generates a Bitcoin address and reveals the
corresponding secret key
2. **SafeGuardSecret** Encrypts a string and decrypts it again
## Installation
-Below are instructions on how to build and run the Milagro D-TA either using
Docker, or static or dynamic builds for Linux.
+Below are instructions on how to build and run the Milagro D-TA either using
Docker or developments builds for Linux and Mac.
These instructions will build the service with default settings including an
embeded IPFS node connected to a private IPFS network and an embedded "Bolt"
database. This will get you up and running quickly **but is not recommended for
production use!**
### Docker
-To see Milagro D-TA in action you can run Milagro D-TA in a docker container.
This is currently the preferred method to build and run the D-TA. Tested on
Ubuntu 19.04 and MacOS but should run in any Docker environment.
