[raft][gate 2] DSS nodes authentication #1734

Description

@MariemBaccari

Context

Node-to-node Raft traffic is currently plaintext HTTP. It should instead run over mTLS, authenticated against a per-participant CA. Each participant operates a private CA and issues one certificate per node. Every node holds the list of CAs its participants trusts. A Raft listener accepts a connection only from a certificate signed by a trusted CA.

Scope

  • Trusted-CA list + per-node certificate
  • mTLS on Raft connections

Expected result

  • An unauthenticated or untrusted-CA connection is rejected on all three Raft listeners
  • A CA installed on some nodes and not others does not break silently

This issue will be refined with the design details.
