HashiCorp Community for Vault and Photos

Vault
1

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the HashiCorp Vault and have been exploring its capabilities for securing sensitive data. I know that Vault is primarily used for secrets management and encryption, but I’m curious if anyone here has experience or ideas on how it could be applied in the context of photo storage and protection.

For example, if I have a collection of photos that I want to keep secure, how would Vault help with this? Are there specific features or plugins in Vault that are particularly useful for managing or encrypting image files? Also, if anyone has experience with integrating Vault with photo management tools or platforms, I’d love to hear about it.

Any insights or suggestions on how to use Vault effectively for photo security would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looking forward to your responses :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The only pattern I see is a DEK-KEK key set. You generate local encryption keys, encrypt them using the transit engine, and store them locally. This is discussed here:

Vault is not really a storage endpoint - except for small scale ( Key Value ), so images are beyond that.
