‘a small library to manage encrypted secrets using asymmetric encryption.’
The main benefits provided by ejson are: Secrets can be safely stored in a git repo. Changes to secrets are auditable on a line-by-line basis with git blame. Anyone with git commit access has access to write new secrets. Decryption access can easily be locked down to production servers only. Secrets change synchronously with application source (as opposed to secrets provisioned by Configuration Management). Simple, well-tested, easily-auditable source.
