We are happy and proud to announce the initial Open Source launch of what we’ve been working on for the past several months. You can grab the bits and start using it over at GitHub:

Open Secrets Language – An open standard for how to “talk” about secrets.
Core Server – The OSS RESTful implementation of the OSL standard.
Go SDK – An easy to use GoLang SDK for interacting with the decodeRing server.
Python SDK – An easy to use Python SDK for interacting with the decodeRing server.

Feedback and contributions are welcome 🤝 We are truly excited and looking forward to building a vibrant community around the Open Secrets Language (OSL) and decodeRing Core. Feedback, feature requests and contributions mean the world to us.
