AWS Key Management Service vs. Box KeySafe vs. Google Cloud Key Management vs. IBM Cloudant Comparison Chart

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that facilitates the creation and control of cryptographic keys used to protect your data. It provides centralized management of keys and policies across integrated services and applications, allowing you to define permissions and monitor key usage. AWS KMS integrates with other AWS services, enabling seamless encryption of data stored within these services and control over access to the keys that decrypt it. Developers can utilize the AWS Encryption SDK to incorporate encryption and digital signature functionalities directly into their application code. AWS KMS supports the generation and verification of hash-based message authentication codes to ensure message integrity and authenticity. The service employs hardware security modules validated under the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Program.

Scale your security globally. Scale your application to Google’s global footprint while letting Google worry about the challenges of key management, including managing redundancy and latency. Help achieve your compliance requirements: Easily encrypt your data in the cloud using software-backed encryption keys, certified FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated HSMs, customer-provided keys or an External Key Manager. Leverage from integration with Google Cloud products. Use customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) to control the encryption of data across Google Cloud products while benefiting from additional security features such as Google Cloud IAM and audit logs. A cloud-hosted key management service that lets you manage symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic keys for your cloud services the same way you do on-premises. You can generate, use, rotate, and destroy AES256, RSA 2048, RSA 3072, RSA 4096, EC P256, and EC P384 cryptographic keys.
