PGP Transit backend

[miguel...@kiwibank.co.nz]

Now that Vault have the ability to encrypt using PGP (as used in the init process) it would be great if a pgp-transit backend would be created.
This backend would enable me to upload other systems public keys (and encrypt strings using those named keys), and also generate pgp keypairs, store them in vault and allow me to decrypt a string encrypted with a named public key by using the corresponding private key.

All the pieces seem to be in place codewise to enable this functionality (pgp helper, transit backend and workflows, etc.)

Is such a feature something that you will develop/look into?

Cheers

It's coming. I can't give an exact time frame, but it will definitely appear.

Best,
Jeff

Good to hear Jeff. Is this 0.8 kind of thing or should I be looking longer term?

Hi Miguel,

There is some transit work done that lays a lot of groundwork for this but is not yet publicly available. We are hoping it will be in 0.6.2. Once that's in, PGP support will be tenable but will still need to be written. It will likely be in the release after these improvements hit, but maybe will make it into the same one.

I'm sorry I can't say more at the moment...

Best,
Jeff

That's great news, helps me trying to create that backend myself. Go Vault!
