KeyControl Vault for Secrets Overview

The Entrust KeyControl Vault for Secrets provides centralized secure storage for managing and controlling access to secrets that are required to access systems and resources. Access to secrets are restricted to authorized applications and users. You can securely store, manage, and access-control secrets such as credentials, API keys, SSH keys, tokens, certificate private keys, and encryption keys. Secrets are managed, controlled and accessed through REST API interfaces or a CLI.

The KeyControl Vault for Secrets is composed of vaults, boxes, secrets, policies, and its own administrators and users. Each vault can hold multiple boxes. You can also enable secondary approval when you create a box, and all secrets in that box will require secondary approval before being checked out.

For information on using the KeyControl Vault for Secrets CLI and API, see the Entrust Secrets Programmer's Reference Guide.

Note: The KeyControl Vault for Secrets webGUI has an automatic timeout value of 15 minutes.
