Endigest AI Core Summary
Envelope encryption with Vault Transit enables secure encryption of large artifacts and streaming data without introducing centralized bottlenecks.
•Data encryption keys (DEKs) are generated for each artifact and encrypted using Vault-managed Transit keys, with encrypted keys stored alongside data
•Vault manages cryptographic keys and access policies centrally while applications perform encryption/decryption locally, reducing network overhead
•Benefits include simplified key management, flexible policy control, distributed encryption at the edge, and crypto-shredding for secure data retirement
•Supports artifacts up to 2^64 bytes (~18 exabytes) and enables high-throughput data processing without routing large payloads through Vault
•
Practical applications demonstrated in AI and machine learning pipelines while maintaining centralized policy enforcement
