digital vault

Encrypted data storage

A digital vault is a secure online storage system for sensitive information—passwords, financial documents, legal records, or cryptocurrency.

The metaphor extends from physical vaults: both protect valuables behind layers of security.

Unlike general cloud storage, digital vaults emphasize encryption and controlled access: I keep all my estate documents in a digital vault.
