From this week onward, all sensitive data exported to YAML will be encrypted and salted. This includes server passwords, keys, and variables marked as encrypted. It is also possible to generate encrypted values directly in Buddy using our YAML helper.
Pipeline Data
Let's say you have a pipeline that you want to use as a template for future projects. The pipeline includes deployment actions to multiple servers, some of them secured by passwords (FTP/FTPS), some of them by SSH keys (SFTP):
- May 21, 2018 Encryption Buddy allows you to Password Protect any kind of file. Simply drag and drop the file into the application window, provide a password, and an encrypted version of the file will be generated. No one can see the contents of the file unless they have the Encryption Buddy software and your password.

Pipeline example
To use the configuration as a template, you first need to export it to a YAML file. You can do that in the pipeline's Settings tab:
Exporting settings
If you examine the file, you will see all sensitive data (passwords, keys, encrypted variables) is now encrypted:
YAML encryption
Now you can use the file to safely reproduce the pipelines in any new project with the Import option in the right column of the Pipelines view.
IMPORTANT: The salt required to decrypt the data is stored in your workspace Preferences:
Salt for YAML/API encryption
YAML Helper
The improvement also involves the YAML helper that you can use to manage and export pipeline configuration. Now, you can also use it to generate encrypted values for your buddy.yml:
