Comment on Launch HN: JumpWire (YC W22) – Easily encrypt customer data in your databases

Comments

How easy is it to rotate encryption keys in the event of a compromise? Eg a key was accidentally included in a log file, so the data encrypted by that key now needs to be re-encrypted with a new key.

A manual rotation is one click on the web page, and we can automatically rotate on a schedule to limit the scope of a compromise if a key gets leaked. Full rekeying is Coming Soon™ - fields encrypted with JumpWire have some metadata about which key is used which makes it easier to find rows that need to be re-encrypted, but the end to end process isn't launched yet.
