plone.keyring contains a Zope3 utility that facilitates handling of
secrets in an application. Secrets are very important in modern applications,
which is why a shared tool to manage them is useful.
plone.keyring contains two basic components:
- a keyring: a data structures which contains one or more secrets.
- a key manager: a utility which contains the available keyrings and
provides some convenience methods to manage them
Keyrings
========
The keyring is the workhorse: it contains a set of secrets for a specific
purpose. A ring has room for a fixed number of secrets which is set at
creation time. The most recently added secret is considered to be the
current secret and the one that should be used. Older secrets in the ring
can be used to keep data generated with older secrets valid for a period of
time.
Key manager
===========
The key manager is a container for the available keyrings. It always
contains a default system keyring which is used when no other ring is
explicitly requested.
