01 Run describe-db-instances command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) to list all RDS database names, available in the selected AWS region:

• Aws Kms Generate Strong Keys
• Aws Kms Generate Strong Key Chains

Our comfort level with this is quite low, so we are looking at other options. We know that AWS has KMS which would allow us to generate and rotate our keys, but we are not sure how to wire up ssh with AWS KMS. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated, either in regards to AWS KMS and SSH, or a better way to keep the keys secure.

1. Jun 01, 2018 Here are the steps. Refer to the quickstart docs for Serverless, KMS, and aws-cli if any of these are unfamiliar. Create a KMS key in the AWS console, and make a note of its ARN. Generate some ciphertext with the following CLI command: aws kms encrypt -key-id 'arn:aws:kms.' -plaintext 'secret' Add the ciphertext as an environment variable.
2. App-Tier KMS Customer Master Key (CMK) In Use (Security) Whether your AWS exploration is just starting to take shape, you’re mid-way through a migration or you’re already running complex workloads in the cloud, Cloud Conformity offers full visibility of your infrastructure and provides continuous assurance it’s secure, optimized.
3. Generates a unique symmetric data key. This operation returns a plaintext copy of the data key and a copy that is encrypted under a customer master key (CMK) that you specify. You can use the plaintext key to encrypt your data outside of AWS KMS and store the encrypted data key with the encrypted data.
4. Jul 21, 2015 Encryption Using KMS. This is where the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) can help. You can create an encryption key in the Identity and Access Management (IAM) section of your AWS account and allow only certain users or roles to be key users or administrators.
5. Dec 13, 2017  AWS KMS is a service by AWS that makes it easy for you to manage your encryption keys. It uses Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in the backend. AWS KMS is integrated with other AWS.

02 The command output should return each RDS database instance identifier (name):

03 Run again describe-db-instances command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) using the specified instance identifier, to determine if the selected database instance is encrypted or not and which KMS key is currently used (AWS-managed or customer-managed):

04 The command output should reveal the RDS instance encryption status:

1. If the StorageEncrypted parameter value is set to false, the encryption is not currently enabled:
2. If the StorageEncrypted parameter value is set to true, the instance encryption is enabled and the KMS key ARN (Amazon Resource Name) used for the encryption/decryption process is available as value for KmsKeyId parameter (highlighted):

05 Now run list-aliases command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) to list all the KMS keys aliases (names) and their ARNs, available in specified region:

06 The command output should return each available KMS key alias, ID and ARN. Now compare each key ID (TargetKeyId parameter value - highlighted) with the KmsKeyId parameter ID value returned at the previous step in order to determine the KMS key type used for the instance encryption. If the AliasName parameter value for the matched ID is alias/aws/rds, the selected instance is encrypted using the AWS default key instead of a KMS customer-managed key (recommended).

07 Repeat steps no. 1 – 6 for each RDS instance provisioned in the current region. Change the AWS region by using the --region filter to repeat the process for other regions.

01 Login to the AWS Management Console.

02 Navigate to IAM dashboard at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.

03 In the left navigation panel, click Encryption Keys.

04 Select the appropriate AWS region from the Filter menu:

(must match the region where the AWS resource that will use the key was created).

05 Click Create Key button from the top menu.

06 Enter an alias (name) and a description for the new CMK, then click Next Step.

07 Under Key Administrators section, select which IAM users and/or roles can administer the CMK, then click Next Step.

08 Under This Account section, select which IAM users and/or roles can use the CMK to encrypt/decrypt data with the AWS KMS API.

09 (Optional) Under External Accounts section, click Add an External Account and enter an external account ID in order to add another AWS account that can use this CMK to encrypt/decrypt data. The owners of the external AWS accounts must also provide access to this CMK by creating policies for their IAM users.

10 Click Next Step.

11 Under Preview Key Policy section, click Finish to create your new CMK. Once the key is created, the KMS dashboard will display a confirmation message: “Your master key was created successfully. Alias: MyEBSDataCMK”

12 Now the CMK must be implemented to encrypt/decrypt the EBS volume data. Navigate to EC2 dashboard at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

13 In the navigation panel, under Elastic Block Store, click Volumes.

14 Select your encrypted EBS volume.

15 Click the Actions dropdown button from the dashboard top menu and select Create Snapshot.

16 In the Create Snapshot dialog box, provide a name and a description for the snapshot (optional) and click Create.

17 In the navigation panel, under Elastic Block Store, click Snapshots.

18 Select your newly created EBS snapshot.

19 Click the Actions dropdown button from the dashboard top menu and select Copy.

20 In the Copy Snapshot dialog box, under Master Key select your new CMK customer-managed key:

and click Copy.

21 Select the new (copied) EBS snapshot.

22 Click the Actions dropdown button from the dashboard top menu and select Create Volume.

23 In the Create Volume dialog box, review the volume configuration details and click Create.

24 Go back to the navigation panel and click Volumes.

25 Select the original EBS volume (encrypted with the AWS-managed key).

26 Click the Actions dropdown button from the dashboard top menu and select Detach Volume.

27 In the Detach Volume dialog box click Yes, Detach.

28 Select the newly created EBS volume (encrypted with your new customer-managed key).

29 Click the Actions dropdown button from the top menu and select Attach Volume.
