AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) makes it easy to create and manage cryptographic keys and control their use across various AWS services and in your applications.

AWS KMS is integrated with AWS CloudTrail to provide you with logs of all key usage to help meet your regulatory and compliance needs.
