Secret Rotation Process

Secret Rotation Process

Glossary of Terms

Provider

A module which implements some functionality, either to handle an Application Lifecycle or rekey a Rekeyable Object.

Provider Configuration

Configuration which the Provider consumes in order to access the Application Lifecycle or Rekeyable Object.

Application Lifecycle Provider

A Provider with the logic necessary to handle the lifecycle of application which consumes some information (key, secret, environment variable, connection string) to access a Rekeyable Object.

Rekeyable Object Provider

A Provider with the logic necessary to rekey a service or object. This might be a database, storage, or an encryption key.

Resource

A GUID-identified model which joins a Provider with its Provider Configuration. Resources also have a display name and description. A Resource can either wrap an Application Lifecycle or a Rekeyable Object provider.

Managed Secret

A GUID-identified model which joins one or more Resources which make up one or more rekeyable objects and their corresponding application lifecycles. When using multiple rekeyable objects and/or lifecycles, a User Hint must be specified. When the rekeying is performed, the User Hints are matched between rekeyable objects and application lifecycles to identify where different secrets should be persisted. Managed Secrets also have a display name and description, as well as metadata on the validity period and rotation history.

Rekeying Task

A GUID-identified model to a Managed Secret which needs to be rekeyed. A Rekeying Task has a queued date and an expiry date; the expiry date refers to the point in time where the key is rendered invalid. A Rekeying Task must be approved by an administrator or will be executed automatically by the AuthJanitor Agent.
