+# Transit Secret Backend
+
+Name: `transit`
+
+The transit secret backend is used to encrypt/data in-transit. Vault doesn't
+store the data sent to the backend. It can also be viewed as "encryption as
+a service."
+
+The primary use case for the transit backend is to encrypt data from
+applications while still storing that encrypted data in some primary data
+store. This relieves the burden of proper encryption/decryption from
+application developers and pushes the burden onto the operators of Vault.
+Operators of Vault generally include the security team at an organization,
+which means they can ensure that data is encrypted/decrypted properly.
+
+Additionally, since encrypt/decrypt operations must enter the audit log,
+any decryption event is recorded.
+
+This page will show a quick start for this backend. For detailed documentation
+on every path, use `vault help` after mounting the backend.
