The QuickVault.dll contains the base functionality of QuickVault.
It can be installed in your .NET Core or full framework project using
Install-Package QuickVault
QuickVault consists of a reader and a manager api. The reader is all that is used in a live website or similar and the manager is used to create and manipulate the vault from a tool when builting the website. For instance the QuickVaulTool.
There a 3 files involved in a QuickVault
QuickVault.pub containing the public key used to encrypt the values of the vault.
QuickVault.priv containing the private key used to decrypt the values in the QuickVault. This file is never added to source code. Its released to your website by copying it manually or in a similar way.
And finally the vault itself QuickVault.bin containing the unencrypted keys (not to be confused with the public/private key) and the encrypted values.
The VaultManager.cs is used to Create key files or update existing keyfiles and to Set values and delete values.
You create new key files by calling CreateKeyFiles() and you update existing key files by calling CreateKeyFiles(true).
Updating key files is smart if your private key is compromised. It will not only update the keyfiles but also reencrypt all the values with the the new public key.
SetValue(string key) sets the value of a key and Delete(string key) deletes the value of a key.
And that's about it
VaultReader.cs is used to iterate over keys using the Keys collection or return the value of specific key using the indexer. I.e to list all values
var reader = new VaultReader();
foreach(var key in reader.Keys)
{
Console.Writeln($"{key}={reader[key]}");
}Could not be simpler.
