Please describe the way the agent connects to the Android application

[cipriancraciun]

It would be nice to have a thorough explanation (without having to resort to looking at the code) how the akr agent connects to the Android application.

The main reason is for the users to be able to asses the risks involved in using the akr and Akamai MFA application, especially if Akamai would drop support for this application:

• does both the workstation where the agent runs and the Android require internet connectivity? can it be used in local networks without internet connectivity? (I'm mainly thinking about remote work or disaster recovery scenarios, where to connect to your router and fix the internet, you actually need internet;) :)

• does it require only some internal Akamai service to be up-and-running? or does it depend on other third party services? (looking in the ~/.akr folder I see something that hints to Azure services;)
