itsgoingdown.orgSecurity is very important when developing applications. How do you encrypt data and manage encryption keys in your application? Successful key management is critical to the #security of a cryptosystem. This is where KMS’s come into play. Let’s first see what a KMS really is.Key Management System (KMS)According to Wikipedia,A key management system (KMS), also known as a crytographic key management system (CKMS), is an integrated approach for generating, distributing and managing cryptographic keys for devices and applications. Compared to the term key management, a KMS is tailored to specific use-cases such as secure software update or machine-to-machine communication. In an holistic approach, it covers all aspects of security — from the secure generation of keys over the (...)
