Cold Vault

An encryption tool that use Google Tink to perform envelop encryption

The encrypted file then pushed into a vault storage of either:

• Local dir: local://{dir_name}
• S3: s3://{bucket_name}

Supported KMS:

• AWS KMS: aws-kms://
• GCP KMS: gcp-kms://
• Hashicorp vault: hcvault://
• Passphrase AES: aesgcm:// (not recommended)

Encryption is performed in memory so original file is expected to not be very large
