Security keys and how they work
ePolicy Orchestrator relies on three security key pairs to:
• Authenticate agent-server communication.
• Verify the contents of local repositories.
• Verify the contents of remote repositories.
Each pair's secret key signs messages or packages at their source, while the pair's public key
verifies the messages or packages at their target.
