This is a client for the Barbican Key Management API. There is a Python library for accessing the API (barbicanclient module), and a command-line script (barbican).
The client is pip installable as follows:
pip install python-barbicanclientThe full api is documented in the wiki.
Here's an example of storing a secret in barbican using the python library with keystone authentication:
>>> from barbicanclient.common import auth
>>> from barbicanclient import client
>>> # We'll use keystone for authentication
>>> keystone = auth.KeystoneAuthV2(auth_url='http://keystone-int.cloudkeep.io:5000/v2.0',
... username='USER', password='PASSWORD', tenant_name='TENANT')
>>> barbican = client.Client(auth_plugin=keystone)
>>> # Let's store some sensitive data, Barbican encrypts it and stores it securely in the cloud
>>> secret_uri = barbican.secrets.store(name='Self destruction sequence',
... payload='the magic words are squeamish ossifrage',
... payload_content_type='text/plain')
>>> # Let's look at some properties of a barbican Secret
>>> secret = barbican.secrets.get(secret_uri)
>>> print(secret.secret_ref)

>>> print(secret.name)
Self destruction sequence
>>> # Now let's retrieve the secret payload. Barbican decrypts it and sends it back.
>>> print(barbican.secrets.decrypt(secret.secret_ref))
