Sharing secrets in a containerized world
Apps and services depend on secrets like tokens or password for authentication. But neither env vars nor files provide secure, flexible and PCI compliant transport mechanism for cloud and containers. With Custodia we developed a HTTP and JSON based protocol and reference implementation for authentication, routing and auditing of secrets. It combines Unix sockets and sVirt with JOSE and PKI to request secrets from a store or 3rd party vault.
