Announcing Network Functions Vault: A Secure Secret Store

Functions Vault is a newly introduced secure storage solution within the network designed to protect sensitive information such as authentication keys, tokens, API credentials, and username/password pairs. This secret store encrypts data, ensuring it is only decrypted when necessary and remains inaccessible to even PubNub, safeguarding critical information from unauthorized access. The service allows users to manage their secrets via the PubNub Admin Dashboard, providing a secure mechanism for storing, removing, and accessing keys from within their functions. By offering encrypted storage, Functions Vault addresses the need for securely handling software components' authentication processes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive data.
