## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

ssh-vault is a Rust command-line utility for creating, viewing, and editing encrypted vault data with SSH keys. It lets users reuse an existing SSH identity for secret encryption instead of introducing a separate vault-specific credential system.

### Projektgeschichte

The project began with an initial public commit in September 2016 and had tagged the 0.10.0 line by March 2017. Its modern Rust implementation supports vault creation, editing, viewing, and public-key fingerprint inspection, and the current documentation notes the transition away from legacy PEM-encoded RSA private keys.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

ssh-vault is distributed through Homebrew, Cargo, and Nix. The repository's long release history and packaging across both the Rust and system-package ecosystems have kept it available as a small Unix-oriented encryption tool.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users pipe secret material into `ssh-vault create`, select recipients through SSH public identities, and pipe an SSH-VAULT payload into `ssh-vault view` to decrypt it. The CLI also offers edit and fingerprint commands.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

ssh-vault applies the familiar SSH-key trust material already present on developer machines to file and stream encryption. That makes it a compact bridge between SSH tooling, Unix pipelines, Cargo installation, and system package managers.

### Zeitleiste

- 2016: Initial public commit.
- 2017: Version 0.10.0 tagged.
- 2026: Version 1.3.1 released.

### Related projects

- The tool consumes SSH public and private key material and documents `ssh-keygen` as the migration path for legacy RSA private-key encoding.
