Vault is a tool for securely sharing and storing secrets. A secret is anything that's cleartext - password, API key, certificate, PIN code, ...

The key features of this system:

• Web client: Vault includes a web frontend for easy access to your secrets. This is the primary way to interact with this system.
• Data encryption: Because secrets are stored in a database, they have to be encrypted. Vault uses RSA 2048 encryption to protect your secrets from unauthorized access.
• API: Vault also includes an API for accessing secrets automatically, enabling you to create integrations with other software.
• Audit logs: Every action in system is logged, so you can see who accessed which secrets.
