Change things from this point on\n\n========\nBarbican\n========\n\nBarbican is a REST API designed for the secure storage, provisioning and\nmanagement of secrets. It is aimed at being useful for all environments,\nincluding large ephemeral Clouds.\n\nBarbican is an OpenStack project developed by the `Barbican Project Team\n\u003chttps://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Barbican\u003e`_ with support from\n`Rackspace Hosting \u003chttps://www.rackspace.com/\u003e`_, EMC, Ericsson,\nJohns Hopkins University, HP, Red Hat, Cisco Systems, and many more.\n\nThe full documentation can be found on the `Barbican Developer Documentation\nSite \u003chttps://docs.openstack.org/barbican/latest/\u003e`_.\n\nTo file a bug, use our bug tracker on `Launchpad\n\u003chttps://launchpad.net/barbican\u003e`_.\n\nRelease notes for the project can be found at\nhttps://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/barbican.\n\nFuture design work is tracked at\nhttps://specs.openstack.org/openstack/barbican-specs.\n\nFor development questions or discussion, use the `OpenStack-discuss\nmailing list \u003chttps://lists.openstack.org/mailman3/lists/openstack-discuss.lists.openstack.org/\u003e`_\nat `openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org` and let us know what you\nthink, just add\n`[barbican]` to the subject. You can also join our IRC channel\n`#openstack-barbican` on `OFTC \u003chttp://oftc.net\u003e`_.\n\nClient Libraries\n----------------\n\n* `python-barbicanclient\n  \u003chttps://opendev.org/openstack/python-barbicanclient\u003e`_ - A convenient Python-based library\n  to interact with the Barbican API.\n\nGetting Started\n---------------\n\nPlease visit our `Users, Developers and Operators documentation\n\u003chttps://docs.openstack.org/barbican/latest/\u003e`_ for details.\n\nWhy Should You Use Barbican?\n----------------------------\n\nThe current state of key management is atrocious. While Windows does have some\ndecent options through the use of the Data Protection API (DPAPI) and Active\nDirectory, Linux lacks a cohesive story around how to manage keys for\napplication use.\n\nBarbican was designed to solve this problem. The system was motivated by\ninternal Rackspace needs, requirements from\n`OpenStack \u003chttps://www.openstack.org/\u003e`_ and a realization that the\ncurrent state\nof the art could use some help.\n\nBarbican will handle many types of secrets, including:\n\n* **Symmetric Keys** - Used to perform reversible encryption of data at rest,\n  typically using the AES algorithm set. This type of key is required to enable\n  features like `encrypted Swift containers and Cinder\n  volumes \u003chttps://www.openstack.org/software/\u003e`_, encrypted Cloud Backups etc.\n* **Asymmetric Keys** - Asymmetric key pairs (sometimes referred to as\n  `public / private keys\n  \u003chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography\u003e`_) are used in\n  many scenarios where communication between untrusted parties is\n  desired. The most common case is with SSL/TLS certificates, but also\n  is used in solutions like SSH keys, S/MIME (mail) encryption and\n  digital signatures.\n* **Raw Secrets** - Barbican stores secrets as a base64 encoded block of data\n  (encrypted, naturally). Clients can use the API to store any secrets in any\n  format they desire.\n\nFor the symmetric and asymmetric key types, Barbican supports full life cycle\nmanagement including provisioning, expiration, reporting, etc.\n\nDesign Goals\n------------\n\n1. Provide a central secret-store capable of distributing secret / keying\n   material to all types of deployments including ephemeral Cloud instances.\n2. Support reasonable compliance regimes through reporting and auditability.\n3. Application adoption costs should be minimal or non-existent.\n4. Build a community and ecosystem by being open-source and extensible.\n5. Improve security through sane defaults and centralized management\n   of `policies for all secrets`.\n6. Provide an out of band communication mechanism to notify and protect sensitive\n   assets.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenstack%2Fbarbican","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fopenstack%2Fbarbican","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenstack%2Fbarbican/lists"}
