The Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform 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 Cryptographic Security Platform 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.
