Secure Storage API 2.0.0¶
This application uses a secure storage system that manages data as key-value pairs. Each value is associated with a unique key, allowing precise identification and retrieval.
- Multiple key-value pairs: An application can create and manage several key-value pairs, provided each key is distinct within that application.
- Unique application data: Every application maintains its own separate set of keys and values, ensuring data isolation.
Securing Communication¶
To protect interactions between the IERT and the application container, the app can utilize SVIDs (Secure Volume Identifiers).
- Authentication: Once retrieved, an SVID acts as an authentication token for accessing secure storage APIs, helping safeguard sensitive data.
Data Storage Practices¶
When saving data, the value is stored exactly as provided.
- User responsibility: It is up to the application developer to ensure that any sensitive or confidential data is encrypted or otherwise protected before saving. The secure storage system does not automatically encrypt the values.
