Mobile Secrets Vault

Mobile Secrets Vault Logo

Overview

Mobile Secrets Vault is a Python library specifically tailored for the backend services of mobile applications. It handles the secure storage, retrieval, and rotation of secrets (like API keys and signing certificates) that mobile apps depend on, with a focus on compliance and auditability.

The Status Quo

Backend services for mobile apps often sprawl across multiple frameworks (Django, FastAPI, Flask). Secrets management is frequently handled differently in each service, leading to inconsistency. Furthermore, mobile-specific requirements like rotating API keys used by the app client are difficult to coordinate without downtime.

Market Proposition

A unified secret management layer for Python-based mobile backends.

  • Audit Logging: Every access to a secret is logged, providing a clear trail for security audits.
  • Versioning: Supports multiple versions of a secret, allowing for graceful rotation (e.g., the old API key works for v1.0 apps while v1.1 apps use the new one).
  • Framework Agnostic: Integrates easily with Django, FastAPI, or standalone scripts.

Usage

from mobile_secrets_vault import Vault

vault = Vault(storage="redis", encryption_key="...")

# Store a secret
vault.set("STRIPE_API_KEY", "sk_test_...", version="v1")

# Retrieve
key = vault.get("STRIPE_API_KEY", version="v1")
