Description DataVault Encryption is a secure storage and encryption toolkit for teams that handle sensitive datasets, model artifacts, configuration files, credentials, or intermediate AI outputs. Many AI systems process valuable or regulated data, but early stage engineering often stores files in plain folders, notebooks, local disks, or shared drives. This creates risk when data is copied, transferred, archived, or used by multiple developers. This module provides patterns for local encryption, secure file wrapping, key handling interfaces, encrypted artifact storage, and access aware data handling. It can be used to protect training datasets, evaluation outputs, customer extracts, model artifacts, and sensitive configuration files. A typical workflow is to encrypt a dataset, store it in a controlled vault path, decrypt only during approved processing, and log access events. This module is not a complete enterprise key management system. Production use requires integration with formal key management, access control, backup strategy, rotation policy, and compliance review. It should be paired with PrivacyShield PII, SecretGuard Scanner, ComplianceAudit Ledger, and DataAtlas Catalog when used in regulated or customer facing environments.
