We developed an open standard for storing encrypted secrets alongside code in your git/whatever repo: https://neosmart.net/blog/2020/securestore-open-secrets-form...

The format is language/platform agnostic and we’ve releases libraries for .NET/C# and rust, as well as developed two separate CLI utilities that can create and manage the stores.

Wow this thread made me realize there are so many tools for this. Just to throw in another one, at my company we are using git-crypt [1], and it works pretty well in our case [1] https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt

My experience with git-crypt is it works fine until you have a merge conflict. This tool seems a lot more compelling in that regard, since only encrypting the subset of the file that needs to be secret I'd imagine diffs and merge conflict would be pretty seamless.

Even better, IMO, would be if all targets were also proxies and a client could choose -- at "query time" -- any combination of (proxy, target) that they prefer. If you wanted to go a step further, you can even allow "chaining" of proxies, such that the path a query takes might be, in an extreme example, similar to how Tor operates: Client -> Proxy 1 -> Proxy 2 -> Proxy 3 -> Target -> Resolver -- Anyways, this is kind…

Did you comment on the wrong post? This seems unrelated to sops.

Thanks, I sure did.

I've copied it to the "Cloudflare and Apple design a new privacy-friendly internet protocol" [0] thread that it was intended for, but it's too late to delete it from this one.
