Hello Friend's,

So let's get started
What is OKV (Oracle Key Vault) :
Oracle Key Vault is a specialized software program from Oracle that handles the storage and management of encryption keys, confidential data called secrets, and digital certificates throughout an organization. Functions of Oracle Key Vault (OKV): * **Key Management:** OKV acts as a central point for managing encryption keys used by different Oracle products and third-party software, such as databases, middleware, and applications. It stores these keys securely, protecting them from unauthorized access. * **Secrets Management:** OKV also manages other sensitive information, including passwords, login credentials, API keys, and system configurations. It helps enforce security policies and ensures that this information remains confidential.
