DevVault – Secure Secret Sharing for Teams
DevVault – Securely store and share secrets with your dev team. End-to-end encryption, role-based access, and GitHub integration for safe, smart secret management.
The problem DevVault – Secure Secret Sharing for Teams solves
Developers often share API keys, credentials, and secrets through insecure channels like email, Slack, or even hardcoded in repos — leading to data breaches, broken workflows, and manual cleanups.
DevVault solves this by providing:
Secure, encrypted storage of secrets with access control.
One-time shareable links to safely transmit sensitive data.
GitHub integration that auto-detects hardcoded secrets and suggests vault storage.
A CLI and web UI that streamline managing secrets across teams and microservices.
This tool makes secret management safer, prevents leaks, and enhances team productivity by centralizing access in a controlled, auditable way.
Challenges I ran into
One major challenge was encrypting secrets securely while still allowing team-based access. We had to balance security with usability.
Initially, sharing encrypted secrets between users with different keys was tricky. We overcame this by implementing asymmetric encryption for sharing and AES-256 for storage.
Another issue was GitHub webhook latency when scanning for secrets in pushed code. We optimized this by building a lightweight regex-based scanner and offloading to a background job queue.
Despite tight hackathon time limits, we prioritized modular architecture to allow future plug-ins for CI/CD tools and more cloud integrations.
