MANAGEMENT OF ENCRYPTION KEYS IN AN APPLICATION CONTAINER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Systems, methods, and software to manage encryption keys in an application container environment are provided. In one example, a method of managing encryption keys comprises identifying a plurality of data objects to encrypt and encrypting the plurality of data objects via a plurality of encryption keys. The method further provides generating supplemental data for each data object, wherein the supplemental data for each data object comprises a key identifier that corresponds to an encryption key used to encrypt each data object. The method further includes associating the supplemental data for each data object with the encrypted version of each data object, and organizing the key identifiers from the plurality of data objects into a data structure with the plurality of encryption keys.

1. A method of managing encryption keys in an application container environment, the method comprising:
in one or more processing systems, identifying a plurality of data objects to encrypt for a plurality of application containers; encrypting the plurality of data objects via a plurality of encryption keys; generating supplemental data for each data object in the plurality of data objects, wherein the supplemental data for each data object in the plurality of data objects comprises a key identifier corresponding to an encryption key of the plurality of encryption keys used to encrypt each data object in the plurality of data objects; associating the supplemental data for each data object with the encrypted version of each data object in the plurality of data objects; and organizing key identifiers from the plurality of data objects into a data structure with the plurality of encryption keys.
