About the client
IDEMIA focuses on creating technologies that make the world safer, especially in the areas of identity, biometrics and digital security. The company offers solutions for governments, corporations and financial institutions, supporting them in identity management, transactions and data protection.
The project faced the challenge of ensuring secure storage of sensitive parameters such as access keys, passwords and other data used in the configuration of applications and infrastructure.
SOPS and AWS KMS (Key Management Service) tools were used to manage sensitive parameters. Access to the KMS key is required to decrypt parameters, which allows controlling access to them. SOPS was integrated with Terraform and ArgoCD (helm-secrets) code, which allowed for automatic decryption and transfer of parameters to the infrastructure and application configuration. This solution provides safe and convenient management of parameters whose values should remain confidential.
