seal Stanza
The seal stanza configures the seal type to use for additional data
protection, such as using HSM or Cloud KMS solutions to encrypt and decrypt the
master key. This stanza is optional, and in the case of the master key, Vault
will use the Shamir algorithm to cryptographically split the master key if this
is not configured.
As of Vault 0.9.0, the seal can also be used for seal wrapping to add an extra layer of protection and satisfy compliance and regulatory requirements. This feature is only available in Vault Enterprise.
For more examples, please choose a specific auto unsealing technology from the sidebar.
Configuration
Seal configuration can be done through the Vault configuration file using the
seal stanza:
seal [NAME] {
# ...
}
For example:
seal "pkcs11" {
# ...
}
For configuration options which also read an environment variable, the environment variable will take precedence over values in the configuration file.
