What is Encryption Key Management Software for Kubernetes?

Encryption key management software securely handles the creation, storage, distribution, and lifecycle management of encryption keys used to protect sensitive data. It provides a centralized system that ensures only authorized users and applications can access or decrypt encrypted information, reducing the risk of data breaches. By automating key processes such as generation, rotation, expiration, and backup, this software helps maintain security standards and compliance with regulatory requirements. With features like role-based access, logging, and auditing, it offers transparency and control over key usage. Encryption key management is essential for organizations aiming to secure data across databases, applications, and cloud environments.

    Yandex Key Management Service
    Use keys to protect the secrets, personal data, and sensitive information you store in the cloud. Create and delete keys, set up access policies, and perform rotation via the management console, CLI, or API. Yandex KMS implements symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Use the REST or RPC API to encrypt and decrypt small amounts of data, such as secrets and local encryption keys, as well as to sign data using e-signature schemes. You manage access to encrypted data, and Yandex KMS ensures the reliability and physical security of keys. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are available. Encrypt small amounts of data using the SDK in Java or Go. To encrypt larger amounts of data, the service is integrated with popular encryption libraries, including the AWS Encryption SDK and Google Tink. Integration with Yandex Lockbox makes it possible to encrypt secrets with your own keys. Secrets and data can also be protected using encryption keys in Managed Service for Kubernetes.

    HashiCorp Vault
    Secure, store and tightly control access to tokens, passwords, certificates, encryption keys for protecting secrets and other sensitive data using a UI, CLI, or HTTP API. Secure applications and systems with machine identity and automate credential issuance, rotation, and more. Enable attestation of application and workload identity, using Vault as the trusted authority. Many organizations have credentials hard coded in source code, littered throughout configuration files and configuration management tools, and stored in plaintext in version control, wikis, and shared volumes. Safeguarding and ensuring that a credentials isn’t leaked, or in the likelihood it is, that the organization can quickly revoke access and remediate, is a complex problem to solve.
