Encrova is a secrets management and access control platform designed to securely store, distribute, and manage sensitive data across applications and infrastructure. Below are detailed use cases relevant to different scenarios, including your encryption service, IAM system, and SaaS developer portal.
  • Store and manage API keys, database credentials, and third-party service tokens in Encrova Vault instead of storing them in code or environment variables.
  • Dynamically inject secrets into applications running in Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Automatically rotate credentials and notify services about updates.
Example for Your IAM System:
  • Store IAM password, Zitadel API keys, Cerbos policy secrets, and getLago billing tokens securely.
  • Grant access to these secrets only to authorized microservices.
  • Store symmetric (AES) and asymmetric (RSA, ECC) encryption keys in a secure vault.
  • Automatically rotate keys after a set period to minimize risk.
  • Use role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized services can retrieve keys
Example for Your Encryption Service:

  • Store JWE encryption keys securely.
  • Control access to prevent unauthorized decryption.
  • Maintain an audit log of all key usage for compliance.
    • Manage secrets across development, staging, and production environments.
    • Automatically sync secrets with AWS Parameter Store, Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager, Kubernetes Secrets, and HashiCorp Vault.
    • Reduce the risk of misconfigurations by ensuring the right secrets are used in each environment.
    Example:
    • Sync secrets between your application’s backend, IAM system, and billing service.
    • Ensure staging uses test credentials, while production uses live credentials.
    • Maintain an audit log of all secret access, updates, and deletions.
    • Set up alerts for unauthorized access attempts.
    • Meet security standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI-DSS.
    Example for Your Encryption Service:
    • Track who accessed encryption keys and when.
    • Generate compliance reports for security audits.
    • Use workspace-based access control to manage secrets across different teams or clients.
    • Define fine-grained access permissions (e.g., DevOps, Security, Developers).
    • Share secrets securely without exposing them via plaintext emails or Slack messages.
    Example for Your SaaS Developer Community:
    • Grant developers access to API keys only for the sandbox environment.
    • Restrict access to production secrets to admin users only.
    • If a secret is leaked (e.g., exposed in a GitHub repository), immediately revoke it.
    • Use Encrova API to update secrets in real-time without redeploying applications.
    • Automate secret rotation in response to security incidents.
    Example for Your IAM & Encryption Service:
    • If a JWT signing key is leaked, revoke it and issue new tokens.
    • Detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts automatically.
