About:
ssh-vault is a command-line tool that leverages existing SSH keys for secure encryption and decryption of files. It eliminates the need to manage separate GPG keys or shared passwords by using public key cryptography. This makes it ideal for developers who want to securely share secrets or sensitive data using their established SSH credentials.
Key Features:
  • Uses existing SSH keys for encryption/decryption
  • No need for GPG or additional key management
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Securely shares secrets with other SSH key holders
Use Cases:
  • Securely sharing sensitive configuration files with team members
  • Encrypting secrets for storage in version control systems
  • Quickly encrypting/decrypting files for temporary secure transfer
Alternatives:
  • gpg – GPG is more feature-rich and standardized but requires managing a separate keychain and is more complex to configure.
  • ansible-vault – Ansible Vault is tightly integrated with Ansible for encrypting variables but is less suitable for general-purpose file encryption.
