Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Mar 11, 2020).

Proposed Changes

We need to revisit the current process of encrypting and decrypting secrets in NetBox. Ideally, we should allow the user to retrieve decrypted data by passing a single string, similar to the session key in the current process.

Justification

Requiring the transfer of a complete RSA key is unwieldy, error-prone, and may be confusing to the user.

I was a bit eager in tagging this for v2.10. This should really include a firm proposal for the changes to be made before we can assign it a milestone.

Marking this as blocked, as we're currently investigating the feasibility of moving the secrets app to a plugin.

Going to go ahead and close this as secrets is definitely being split out into a plugin.
