Sensitive values should never be stored as plaintext in workflow files, but rather as secrets. [Secrets](/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/creating-and-storing-encrypted-secrets) can be configured at the organization{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "[email protected]" or currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %}, repository, or environment{% else %} or repository{% endif %} level, and allow you to store sensitive information in {% data variables.product.product_name %}. | ||

Secrets use [Libsodium sealed boxes](https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/public-key_cryptography/sealed_boxes), so that they are encrypted before reaching {% data variables.product.product_name %}. This occurs when the secret is submitted [using the UI](/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/creating-and-storing-encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository) or through the [REST API](/rest/reference/actions#secrets). This client-side encryption helps the minimize risks related to accidental logging (for example, exception logs and request logs, among others) within {% data variables.product.product_name %}'s infrastructure. Once the secret is uploaded, {% data variables.product.product_name %} is then able to decrypt it so that it can be injected into the workflow runtime. | ||

To help prevent accidental disclosure, {% data variables.product.product_name %} uses a mechanism that attempts to redact any secrets that appear in run logs. This redaction looks for exact matches of any configured secrets, as well as common encodings of the values, such as Base64. However, because there are multiple ways a secret value can be transformed, this redaction is not guaranteed. As a result, there are certain proactive steps and good practices you should follow to help ensure secrets are redacted, and to limit other risks associated with secrets: | ||
