> For storing passwords in our configuration I'd like to implement a 2 stage approach to symmetric encryption.
> The current ideas is to have an encrypted hash derived from a master password and machine specific information (MAC, IP, expiry date, etc).
> This encrypted sequence is different on every box. But the decrypted hash is not.
>  
> With this hash we can encode a user password, which is then ofc the same on different boxes. 
> Of course all that is just security by obscurity, but it's still much better than plaintext and even close to Hashicorp Vault.
> After all, the only really secure way is using a hardware crypto box plus the user has to manually provide a password and not using static passwords but 1-time consumable tokens.
