     1  # Veles: secret scanning
     2  
     3  > Veles – Slavic god, a permanent guardian on the border of the worlds, a spiritual mentor, _he knows all the secrets of the universe_.
     4  
     5  Veles is a standalone library for secret scanning that ships as part of Scalibr.
     6  It can detect _and (where possible) validate_ credentials and other things
     7  colloquially referred to as "secrets".
     8  
     9  The API is designed to make it easy to add new [Detector](./detect.go)s and
    10  corresponding [Validator](./validate.go)s. The [DetectionEngine](./detect.go#52)
    11  is deliberately kept simple for now. In the future, if Veles supports hundreds
    12  or thousands of credential types, the engine might require optimization (e.g.
    13  using the Aho-Corasick algorithm).
    14  
    15  It can be used via Scalibr via the corresponding extractor and enricher. Some
    16  parts of that integration are still under development.
