HI Dammina, Sorry for late response on your request. I have a suggestion for a contribution:
Airavata manages credentials using a internal component called Credential Store [1] and [2]. Since the original development of this component the credential store usage has got more confined to basically managing SSH keys and clients keys and secrets (the paper talks about MyProxy integration which is no longer used). The open source Vault project [3] provides these functionalities. Would you be interested in doing a proof of concept with Vault and compare and contrast with credential store? If there is a justification, we would like to migrate off credential store to Vault.
