Description-en: OpenSSL Encryption backend for Hiera
A backend for Hiera that provides per-value encryption of sensitive
data within yaml files to be used by Puppet.
.
Only the values are encrypted, allowing files to be swiftly reviewed
without decryption.
.
The value of each key is encrypted individually, which means that
"git diff" is meaningful.
.
Includes a command line tool for encrypting, decrypting, editing and
rotating keys. This makes it almost as easy as using clear text
files.
.
Basic asymmetric encryption (PKCS#7) is used by default. This does
not require any native libraries to be compiled, and it allows users
without the private key to encrypt values that the puppet master can
decrypt
.
hiera-eyaml includes a pluggable encryption framework (e.g. GPG
encryption (hiera-eyaml-gpg) can be used if you have the need for
multiple keys and easier key rotation)
