Description

Knox serves as a secret management platform designed for the secure storage and rotation of sensitive information such as secrets, keys, and passwords utilized by various services. Within Pinterest, a multitude of keys and secrets are employed for diverse functions, including signing cookies, encrypting sensitive data, securing the network through TLS, accessing AWS machines, and facilitating communication with third-party services, among others. The risk of these keys being compromised posed significant challenges, as the process of rotation typically required a deployment and often necessitated changes to the codebase. Previously, keys and secrets at Pinterest were stored in Git repositories, leading to their replication across the company's infrastructure and presence on numerous employee laptops, which made tracking access and auditing who had permission to use these keys virtually impossible. To address these issues, Knox was developed with the intention of simplifying the process for developers to securely access and utilize confidential secrets, keys, and credentials. It also ensures the confidentiality of these sensitive elements while providing robust mechanisms for key rotation in the event of a security breach, thereby enhancing overall security practices. By implementing Knox, Pinterest aims to streamline secret management processes while fortifying its defenses against potential vulnerabilities.

Description

Address team frustrations related to password management by allowing access to a centralized password pool through a dedicated Slack group. Ensure that all team passwords are securely encrypted and stored in a protected environment, thus reducing the chances of passwords being compromised by existing in multiple insecure locations. We provide a comprehensive documentation of the encryption design and make the complete source code available for public review, enabling thorough code assessments and verification of the zero-knowledge protocol in place. To generate a link for the editor to create a secret, note that this link will expire after 15 minutes. Additionally, to ensure the secret becomes inaccessible, it is essential to manually delete it from the S3 password storage. The setup process for the password storage requires only a single execution, streamlining the implementation. For those looking to obtain a one-time-use link to access secret content, remember that this link also expires in 15 minutes. For detailed instructions on establishing your own password server, visit our GitHub project, and feel free to test commands on your Slack team using our designated test server to familiarize yourself with the functionality. This approach not only enhances security but also fosters a more efficient way to manage sensitive information within teams.
