The password vault tool uses the “Crypt::Simple” perl module (don’t go by the name, it’s got a bunch of stuff happening under the hood) to encrypt anything that is typed into the interface and saves it on a file-system acl’ed back end store.
Only a select group (the System Admins) have ability to access this backend store (as a result the Vault application). The appliction has been written to search, modify, add and delete entries and each action is audited in the backend repository. Using a simply Curses based menu, the app is self-intuitive and requires no training.
About Crypt::Simple
- The name of the program is used as the key to create an MD5 hash of the string that is being encrypted.
- FreezeThaw is used to squish all the data into a concise textual representation
- Compress::Zlib is used to compress this string
- Crypt::Blowfish in a home-brew CBC mode is used to actually encrypt this string
- Then the string is processed via Mime::Base64 to actually produce the text that is being displayed.
For instance,
password123 becomes ==> 4vXAfgpKoyEZN67CpgmATZgV4nXirSvhzCWwQSY54GF2Wol0noNCqIujvUXCRVWj

# Author — Dwai Lahiri
# Created — 4/13/2004
# Credits to : Steven L. Kunz’s perlmenu demo program(s)
# Note: Even though advisory exclusive write locks are in place,
# have to make sure file doesn’t get clobbered by simultaneous writes
# Modified — 4/27/2004 — DL
# Cleaned up some old declarations, variables, etc - 6/25/04 - DL
# Minor fixes to “cleanup” routine - 6/25/04 - DL
