| Advatages | Key management service KMS | Conventional key management |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Just pay for the key storage and API calls, and pay on demand | - Purchase the hardware security machine that meets the requirements of the national authority - rack, electric charge, operation and maintenance and other costs generated by hosting equipment |
| Easy to use | - Easy to use, create and manage keys in the console and complete related operations in the API - complete authorized access mechanism, use anytime and anywhere - provide SDK of a variety of mainstream platforms |
- For the hardware security machine, get started slowly, difficult in development; without industrial standard for similar devices - not only need to use keys, but also need professionals to manage keys |
| Reliable | - Distributed cluster architecture - quasi real-time synchronization of primary and secondary equipment |
- Perform key backup manually on hardware security machine regularly - in case of device failure, the manual key recovery is required |
