Vault is a repository that keeps confidential information at a secure location. Vault provides a robust security level, by adding more security while saving and accessing the classified data. Instead of storing information as a plain text, Vault is used to securely save and fetch data in an encrypted form. The following domains use Vault:

  • DB Info
