About the software
HashiCorp Vault is an identity-based secrets and encryption management system. It provides encryption services that are gated by authentication and authorization methods to ensure secure, auditable and restricted access to secrets. It is used to secure, store and protect secrets and other sensitive data using a UI, CLI, or HTTP API.
A secret is anything that you want to tightly control access to, such as tokens, API keys, passwords, encryption keys or certificates. Vault provides a unified interface to any secret, while providing tight access control and recording a detailed audit log.
API keys for external services, credentials for service-oriented architecture communication, etc. It can be difficult to understand who is accessing which secrets, especially since this can be platform-specific. Adding on key rolling, secure storage, and detailed audit logs is almost impossible without a custom solution. This is where Vault steps in.
Vault validates and authorizes clients (users, machines, apps) before providing them access to secrets or stored sensitive data.
The main features of HashiCorp Vault Enterprise are:
- Dynamic Secrets: Vault can generate secrets on-demand for some systems, such as AWS or SQL databases. For example, when an application needs to access an S3 bucket, it asks Vault for credentials, and Vault will generate an AWS keypair with valid permissions on demand. After creating these dynamic secrets, Vault will also automatically revoke them after the lease is up.
- Data Encryption: Vault can encrypt and decrypt data without storing it. This allows security teams to define encryption parameters and developers to store encrypted data in a location such as a SQL database without having to design their own encryption methods.
- Leasing and Renewal: All secrets in Vault have a lease associated with them. At the end of the lease, Vault will automatically revoke that secret. Clients are able to renew leases via built-in renew APIs.
- Revocation: Vault has built-in support for secret revocation. Vault can revoke not only single secrets, but a tree of secrets, for example all secrets read by a specific user, or all secrets of a particular type. Revocation assists in key rolling as well as locking down systems in the case of an intrusion.
