In secret: Share Sensitive Information in R Packages

Description

Allow sharing sensitive information, for example passwords, API keys, or other information in R packages, using public key cryptography.

Details

A vault is a directory, typically inside an R package, that stores a number of secrets. Each secret is shared among a group of users. Users are identified using their public keys.

The package implements the following operations:

• Vault:

  • Creating a vault folder: create_vault()

  • Creating a package vault: create_package_vault()

• User management:

  • Adding a user: add_user(), add_github_user().

  • Deleting a user: delete_user().

  • Listing users: list_users().

• Keys:

  • Reading local private key: local_key()

• Secrets:

  • Adding a secret: add_secret().

  • Retrieving a secret: get_secret().

  • Updating a secret: update_secret().

  • Deleting a secret: delete_secret().

  • List secrets: list_secrets().

  • Sharing a secret: share_secret(). Query or set the set of users that have access to a secret.

  • Unsharing a secret: unshare_secret()
