SPIKE ( Secure Production Identity for Key Encryption ) is a system that achieves secure secrets management through a distributed , zero-trust architecture. To learn more about SPIKE , you can visit SPIKE ’s website or check out SPIKE ’s GitHub repository . A Video is a Worth a Million… ## [Understanding DEK and KEK in Encryption: A Practical Guide](https://zerotohero.dev/inbox/dek-kek/) _2024-12-22 · Volkan Özçelik · Zero to Hero_ Modern data encryption strategies often employ a two-layer model of key management to balance strong security with operational flexibility. Two commonly used concepts in this model are the Data Encryption Key (DEK) and the Key Encryption Key (KEK). In this post, we’ll unpack how these two keys work together, and how you might store and retrieve them effectively. What Are DEK and KEK? Data… ## [Using External Secrets Operator with HashiCorp Vault to Create Kubernetes Secrets](https://zerotohero.dev/inbox/eso-vault/) _2024-12-22 · Volkan Özçelik · Zero to Hero_ When working with Kubernetes, securely managing secrets is a crucial part of your infrastructure. Traditional approaches—like directly embedding secrets in manifests or manually managing Secret objects—can become cumbersome and less secure over time. Enter the External Secrets Operator (ESO) , a powerful way to integrate external secret stores with Kubernetes. One such secret store is HashiCorp… ## [CSR vs Direct Public Key Exchange: When Do You Really Need a CSR?](https://zerotohero.dev/inbox/csr/) _2024-12-16 · Volkan Özçelik · Zero to Hero_ When working with secure systems, a common scenario involves Server A obtaining a certificate signed by Server B (acting as a Certificate Authority, or CA). But if the ultimate goal is to exchange public keys so that JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) signed by Server A can be verified by Server B, you might wonder: Do I really need to use a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)? Can’t I just send my public key… ## [Establishing SPIFFE Federation Between Kubernetes Clusters](https://zerotohero.dev/inbox/spiffe-federation/) _2024-12-16 · Volkan Özçelik · Zero to Hero_ SPIFFE (Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone) provides a robust framework for service identity across distributed systems.
