Cloud-Native Key Management
SpringOne Platform 2016
Speaker: Justin Smith; Director, Pivotal
Credential hygiene is a perennial concern in all distributed computing systems. It’s certainly of utmost importance in cloud-native platforms.

In this talk, we will discuss the options available and best practices for these sensitive operations. Topics include: key encrypting keys, hardware security modules, and relatively new and promising advances in muti-party computation.
