enclaive Vault is a cross-cloud secrets management solution designed to centralize control over cryptographic keys, credentials, and secrets across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments. Key capabilities include: Identity & Access Management: Supports multiple authentication methods (username/password, SSO, JSON Web Tokens) and integrates with cloud platform IAMs. Provides fine-grained, role-based and group-based access control for secrets, resources, and workloads. Key Management: Enables management of credentials, certificates, and cryptographic keys using NIST/BSI-standardized algorithms for encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and secure key storage. Includes a built-in Certificate Authority for issuing, renewing, and revoking SSL/TLS, email encryption, code signing, and document signing certificates. Hardware-Graded Security: Establishes a hardware root of trust using CPU, TPM, or HSM as the trust anchor and entropy source. Crypto-Agility: Supports public key (PK), elliptic curve (EC), and post-quantum (PQ) cryptography, with adaptability to evolving NIST, BSI, and NATO standards. Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Deployment: Can be deployed across multiple cloud environments or on-premises, suitable for hybrid and cross-cloud architectures. Elasticity: Supports dynamic resource scaling to handle fluctuating workload demands. Unified Security: Covers SSH key management, database credential management, Kubernetes automation, and HSM integration for vault sealing and entropy generation.
