Secure vault is used to store the sensitive information which needs to
be provided during the task execution process.
All secure data is stored in the Vault as keys. Vault encrypts these
keys before writing them to persistent storage. Secure vault variables
are also maintained at an App level and the scope is limited to an APP.
