What is cryptographic computing? A conversation with two AWS experts
Joan Feigenbaum Amazon Scholar, AWS Cryptography Bill Horne Principal Product Manager, AWS Cryptography AWS Cryptography tools and services use a wide range of encryption and storage technologies that can help customers protect their data both at rest and in transit. In some instances, customers also require protection of their data even while it is in […]
Read MoreBest practices and advanced patterns for Lambda code signing
Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently released Code Signing for AWS Lambda. By using this feature, you can help enforce the integrity of your code artifacts and make sure that only trusted developers can deploy code to your AWS Lambda functions. Today, let’s review a basic use case along with best practices for lambda code signing. […]
Read MoreThree common cloud encryption questions and their answers on AWS
August 31, 2021: AWS KMS is replacing the term customer master key (CMK) with AWS KMS key and KMS key. The concept has not changed. To prevent breaking changes, AWS KMS is keeping some variations of this term. More info. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we encourage our customers to take advantage of encryption to […]
Read Morere:Invent 2020 – Your guide to AWS Identity and Data Protection sessions
August 16, 2021: We’ve updated this post to include links to recordings of the sessions. AWS re:Invent will certainly be different in 2020! Instead of seeing you all in Las Vegas, this year re:Invent will be a free, three-week virtual conference. One thing that will remain the same is the variety of sessions, including many […]
Read MoreRound 2 post-quantum TLS is now supported in AWS KMS
AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) now supports three new hybrid post-quantum key exchange algorithms for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 encryption protocol that’s used when connecting to AWS KMS API endpoints. These new hybrid post-quantum algorithms combine the proven security of a classical key exchange with the potential quantum-safe properties of new post-quantum […]

August 31, 2021: AWS KMS is replacing the term customer master key (CMK) with AWS KMS key and KMS key. The concept has not changed. To prevent breaking changes, AWS KMS is keeping some variations of this term. More info. In this post, I demonstrate a sample workflow for generating a digital signature within AWS […]
Read MoreRound 2 Hybrid Post-Quantum TLS Benchmarks
AWS Cryptography has completed benchmarks of Round 2 Versions of the Bit Flipping Key Encapsulation (BIKE) and Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation (SIKE) hybrid post-quantum Transport Layer Security (TLS) Algorithms. Both of these algorithms have been submitted to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process. In the […]
Read MorePost-quantum TLS now supported in AWS KMS
November 11, 2019: Based on customer feedback, we’ve corrected the name of one of our sources. AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) now supports post-quantum hybrid key exchange for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) network encryption protocol that is used when connecting to KMS API endpoints. In this post, I’ll tell you what post-quantum TLS […]
