Bring your own key

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) is an encryption key management system that allows enterprises to encrypt their data and retain control and management of their encryption keys.

To enable byok please contact us via the dedicated Slack channel, or send an email to founders@vaticy.com.

2 sided coin

Enabling byok is possible, but it comes with down sides too.

Downsides

Allowing byok comes with some downsides:

• Unavailable encryption key from the customers side means the cluster can't be restarted, updated and will eventually stop running after several minutes
• Rotating the encryption key won’t have an immediate effect on the pre-existing clusters
• Some of the data queries could have latency issues

Upsides

Allowing byok comes with some upsides too:

• The customer is in-charge of the encryption key
• Deleting the encryption key will result in the database being unavailable until the key is restored
