[Star Wars- Canon or Legends] I know Palpatine wanted to keep his Sith identity a secret, but did the average person know Vader was a Sith?

Vader was known as a Lord of the Sith, yes. Though the average person might not know what that was, him being one was at least knowledge known to Imperial military command - there's even a cut scene from the original film, the meeting room with Tarkin, Tagge, Vader and the others where he's mentioned as being a Sith.
