    Unbound Crypto-of-Things

    N/AN/AUnbound CoT eliminates the single point of compromise by ensuring that sensitive keys that reside on untrusted and insecure devices never exist in the clear at any point in their lifecycle – not even when generated or while in use. With Unbound CoT, key material is never whole. Rather, each key exists as two random key shares. All operations are carried out without ever uniting the key shares. By eliminating the single point of compromise, Unbound CoT provides high level of security for most…N/A

    HashiCorp Vault, in my opinion, is a defacto standard for any cloud or automation implementation. They're the best of the best as far as products for secrets management and the ability to use it against relatively any service you have is unheard of for other products. HashiCorp has really taken out all the stops when it comes to creating a nice, extensible tool that people can use to suit their needs.

    Pros
    HashiCorp
    • The HTTP API you use to write and read secrets is open and can be used by any application.
    • It keeps our sensitive data/credentials out of our GitLab repositories.
    • Sealing and unsealing the Vault on demand adds an additional layer of security.

    HashiCorp Vault is the best there is out there, and it has become critical to our secret management use cases. It would be difficult to find anything that would suit our needs better and that would be beneficial for us to switch over to.

    Usability
    HashiCorp
    We spent a little more time than we imagined to conceptually understand how HashiCorp Vault operates, as well as how it is configured. This is not trivial, and keep in mind that you will need to take some time to get a thorough understanding of the tool. The documentation could be more helpful in this regard.

    HashiCorp
    Hashicorp has been very responsive to our questions and inquiries up to this point. We are currently working on them to develop a more granular permissions model within Vault. We are very close to achieving our objectives with the help of their support team. We do not seem to be in the same time zone which makes it hard for escalated issues.

    HashiCorp
    HashiCorp Vault is way better than Azure Key Vault; it has more features and it goes beyond a key-value secret store.
