KMS

KMS explained

Key Management Service: an external service that stores master encryption keys. Pachca supports Yandex Cloud KMS and HashiCorp Vault

A KMS (Key Management Service) is a system for storing and managing cryptographic keys. Supported providers:

  • Yandex Cloud KMS
  • Cloud.ru (SberCloud)
  • HashiCorp Vault
  • AWS KMS

The KMS holds the master key, which never leaves its secure storage. Pachca asks the KMS to perform cryptographic operations but never receives the key itself.
