+Architecture
+============
+
+This project aims at the Storage of sensitive information such as passwords, username, and tokens.
+
+**Current state and gaps**
+
+Many services in ONAP use password based authentication. Eg: Database servers, publish/subscribe brokers etc.
+Passwords are stored in plain text files in many services.
+With multiple instances of these services, the attack surface area becomes very big.
+Hence there is a need to ensure that attack surface related to password exposure is reduced.
+
+**Requirement:**
+
+Need for Secure Secret Management.
+Services are expected to get the secret only on needed basis using secret reference and remove the secrets once they are used up.
