Security: Secure Sensitive Data Management
Secure Sensitive Data (SSD) is an architecture that facilitates the protection of sensitive data
on a device, such as passwords and keys. The facility makes use of passphrases, encryption,
access control, and user authentication to provide a secure solution to managing sensitive data.
The facility is extended to protect the integrity of configuration files, to secure the
configuration process, and to support SSD zero-touch auto configuration.

Introduction
SSD protects sensitive data on a device, such as passwords and keys, permits and denies
access to sensitive data encrypted and in plain text based on user credentials
and SSD rules,
and protects configuration files containing sensitive data from being tampered with.
In addition, SSD enables the secure backup and sharing of configuration files containing
sensitive data.
SSD provides users with the flexibility to configure the desired level of protection on their
sensitive data; from no protection with sensitive data in plaintext, minimum protection with
encryption based on the default passphrase, and better protection with encryption based on
user-defined passphrase.
