Securing Confidential Data For Distributed Software Development Teams: Encrypted Container File

Year: 2024

Type: preprint

Abstract: In the context of modern software engineering, there is a trend towards Cloud-native software development involving international teams with members from all over the world. Cloud-based version management services like GitHub are commonly used for source code and other files. However, a challenge arises when developers from different companies or organizations share the platform, as sensitive data should be encrypted to restrict access to certain developers only. This paper discusses existing tools addressing this issue, highlighting their shortcomings. The authors propose their own solution, Encrypted Container Files, designed to overcome the deficiencies observed in other tools.
