This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.
This library provides a unified interface for managing secure, shared credentials.
It uses Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) for master key management, locally
encrypts and decrypts secrets, which are then stored in any of the supported
storage backends. (Currently DynamoDB.)
The use-case is to avoid storing sensitive information such as passwords and
connection strings in plaintext in places such as source control or on
developers' machines. Instead you can securely administer and distribute
secrets, leveraging Amazon's IAM policies for access control and permissions to
ensure limited read-only permissions from production/deployed hosts.
You can embed this library into projects such as web applications to securely
retrieve sensitive information such as database passwords or private keys on startup.
A complementary CLI for management of credentials can be installed via
credentials-cli.
