AWS Key Management Service Description

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a comprehensive managed service that enables the creation and management of cryptographic keys essential for safeguarding your data. It offers a centralized approach to key and policy management across various integrated applications and services, allowing users to establish permissions and oversee key activity effectively. With seamless integration into other AWS services, AWS KMS simplifies the encryption of data housed within these platforms, while also providing control over the keys necessary for decryption. Developers can leverage the AWS Encryption SDK to embed encryption and digital signature capabilities directly into their applications, enhancing security. Additionally, AWS KMS includes support for generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes, which are vital for maintaining message integrity and authenticity. The service utilizes hardware security modules that are validated in accordance with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Program, ensuring a high standard of security. In this way, AWS KMS not only secures data but also reinforces trust in the systems that utilize its capabilities.
