About 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.

A secret may contain any of your confidential information, e.g. a login-password pair, server certificate keys, or cloud service account keys. Each secret stored by the service can have multiple versions of stored data. The service stores this data securely in encrypted form. All secrets are replicated in three availability zones.
