Confidant Description

Confidant is an open-source service designed for secret management, enabling secure and user-friendly storage and retrieval of sensitive information, developed by the team at Lyft. It addresses the challenge of authentication by leveraging AWS KMS and IAM, which enables IAM roles to create secure tokens that Confidant can validate. Additionally, Confidant oversees KMS grants for your IAM roles, facilitating the generation of tokens for service-to-service authentication and enabling encrypted communication between services. Secrets are stored in an append-only format within DynamoDB, with each revision of a secret linked to a distinct KMS data key, utilizing Fernet symmetric authenticated encryption for security. Furthermore, Confidant features a web interface built with AngularJS, allowing users to efficiently manage their secrets, associate them with services, and track the history of modifications. This comprehensive tool not only enhances security but also simplifies the management of sensitive data across various applications.
