Motivation

Pepper unlike salt, needs to be stored somewhere else other than along with password hash, for example, in a file or on Amazon cloud.
When a pepper is needed, we need to be able to fetch it from a file or Amazon cloud, as a result we need a service provider to allow different implementation of 3rd parties.

Acceptance Criteria

1. As a Developer, I want to have a service provider of Pepper Storage to talk to a 3rd party storage of pepper in order to be able to store and manage pepper on an external storage.
