AWS Key Management System (KMS)

AWS KMS is a service that helps you manage keys used for encryption. There are multiple options for KMS that include bringing your own keys and having them managed by KMS along with those generated by AWS. This is a fully managed service and integrates with other AWS Services such as AWS CloudTrail to log all activities for your KMS services. This service plays an important role in securing the data stored by your applications by encrypting them.
