AWS re:Invent 2015 | (SEC401) Encryption Key Storage with AWS KMS at Okta

One of the biggest challenges in writing code that manages encrypted data is developing a secure model for obtaining keys and rotating them when an administrator leaves. AWS Key Management Service (KMS) changes the equation by offering key management as a service, enabling a number of security improvements over conventional key storage methods. Jon Todd will show how Okta uses the KMS API to secure a multi-region system serving thousands of customers. This talk is oriented toward developers looking to secure their applications and simplify key management.
