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

Utilize encryption keys to safeguard your secrets, personal details, and sensitive information stored in the cloud. You can create and remove keys, configure access policies, and execute key rotation through the management console, CLI, or API. Yandex KMS supports both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic methods. With the REST or RPC API, you can encrypt and decrypt small data sets, including secrets and local encryption keys, in addition to signing data through electronic signature protocols. You have control over who can access the encrypted information, while Yandex KMS guarantees the security and durability of the keys. Additionally, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are provided for enhanced security. For small data encryption, you can use the SDKs available in Java or Go, while larger data sets can be encrypted using popular libraries like the AWS Encryption SDK and Google Tink. The service integrates seamlessly with Yandex Lockbox, allowing you to encrypt secrets with your own keys. Furthermore, encryption keys can also be employed to secure secrets and data within the Managed Service for Kubernetes, providing robust protection across various platforms. This comprehensive approach ensures that your sensitive information remains secure from unauthorized access.
