+Architecture
+============
+
+The micro-service called CertService is designed for requesting certificates
+signed by external Certificate Authority (CA) using CMP over HTTP protocol. It uses CMPv2 client to send and receive CMPv2 messages.
+CertService's client will be also provided so other ONAP components (aka end components) can easily get certificate from CertService.
+End component is an ONAP component (e.g. DCAE collector or controller) which requires certificate from CMPv2 server
+to protect external traffic and uses CertService's client to get it.
+CertService's client communicates with CertService via REST API over HTTPS, while CertService with CMPv2 server via CMP over HTTP.
