 Description   

When device credentials are being stored in the configuration files, they are stored in plain and clear text for anyone to get. They should be encrypted

After YANGTOOLS-418 is resolved credentials can be stored in a password yang type (TBD) which would be encrypted on disk.

Comment by Robert Varga [ 02/Jun/15 ]

Well, that will make it a keystore. I think this will need a YANG model to make it usable with NETCONF/RESTCONF accessing (and setting) this data.

cfg subsystem is deprecated so the config files will stay, how they are.
The datastore configuration can already be set to be encrypted by the user and will be further improved as a part of 9261
