Fact.KeyRing (Fact v0.4.1)

Holds the Data Encryption Key (DEK) in memory for a database instance.

The Fact.KeyRing is started as part of the Fact.DatabaseSupervisor when the database is configured with encryption. At startup, it unwraps the DEK using the configured Fact.Encryption.KEKProvider and holds it in memory for the lifetime of the database.

Summary
