Description

Need to review how we are storing data in the vault.

  • document the file format.
  • ensure that private keys use our new secure heap.
  • change the parsing of private keys to use secure memory all the way down - this may require us to enhance SecureString.

Research direction

Start by tracing vault storage and private-key parsing, then inspect SecureString and the new secure heap. Document the file format and verify that private-key data remains in secure memory throughout parsing; no files or tests are named, so identify the relevant tests before changing behavior.
