Chip Chip
Chip Chip is a command-line tool for generating and managing cryptographic keys, certificates, and secure tokens in development environments. It simplifies the process of creating and rotating secrets, such as SSH keys, TLS certificates, and API tokens, with built-in best practices for security. The tool is designed to integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and local development workflows, helping teams maintain consistent security standards.
Developers should use Chip Chip when they need to automate the generation and management of cryptographic assets in a secure, repeatable manner, such as in DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, or microservices deployments. It is particularly valuable for teams handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries, as it reduces manual errors and enforces security policies. Use cases include setting up secure communication between services, rotating credentials in production systems, and ensuring compliance with security audits.
