Managed Key Storage for .NET Applications
Skater Private Keys Depot
* Store sensitive values securely in your .NET applications using the Skater Private Keys Depot API library.
* Add, modify, and retrieve key values cryptographically encrypted on the Depot cloud server.
* Update applications that retrieve keys before modifying or deleting them to prevent incorrect usage.
Benefits of Using Skater Private Keys Depot
* Provides a secure way to store sensitive data in .NET applications.
* Eliminates the risk of hardcoding keys in source code.
* Simplifies key management tasks, including adding, modifying, and retrieving keys.
Encryption Best Practices
* Use symmetric encryption schemes with three inputs: data, IV (initialization vector), and encryption key.
* Keep the encryption key secret.
* Even if the encryption code is public, the key should remain inaccessible to attackers.
* Implement additional security measures to protect against code compromise.
* Consider using cryptographic key rollover for enhanced security.
Challenges in Managing Encryption Keys
* Building a robust key management system can be complex for developers.
* Key rollover and cryptographic agility present challenges in hardcoding keys.
Security Risks of Hardcoding Keys
* Hardcoding keys in source code poses several security risks:
* Keys can be easily obtained by attackers with access to the code.
* Compromised keys can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data.
* Key rollover becomes problematic due to the need to update all hardcoded keys.
