Chiffrement
Overview
Secret manager for small teams: encrypted keys (envelope encryption, local simulated KMS), automatic DB/API credential rotation, and an immutable access log. Laravel integration via a config() driver that reads secrets at boot without writing them in clear.\n\nExposed-secret audit (pre-commit scan) and one-click revocation.
Solution
Envelope encryption + scheduled rotation + signed log.
Outcome
Secrets never at rest in clear, rotation with no downtime.
