Overview

Module vmanage-agent allows node to make request to vmanage and add this device to USDN system.

Enhanced Security Features

The agent now implements three separate cryptographic key types for maximum security:

1. Controller WireGuard Keys - Management plane (node ↔ controller)
2. Tunnel WireGuard Keys - Data plane (node ↔ node via VPP)
3. Blockchain RSA Keys - Configuration encryption/decryption

Security Guarantee: Private keys NEVER leave the device. Only public keys are transmitted to backend.

See SECURITY_KEY_MANAGEMENT.md for complete details.
