Amazon Web Services Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Today, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere released credential helper version 1.1.0 to include support for X.509 certificates and private keys that are stored in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 compatible security modules. IAM Roles Anywhere credential helper is a tool that manages the process of signing CreateSession API with the private key associated with an X.509 end-entity certificate and calls the endpoint to obtain temporary AWS credentials. With this release, you can use the credential helper to delegate signing operations to keys stored within PKCS #11 compatible security modules, without those keys ever leaving those stores; which can help improve your security posture.View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
