Enhanced Security and Scalability in Cloud Architectures Using AWS KMS and Lambda Authorizers: A Novel Framework
Keywords:
cloud security, AWS KMS, Lambda Authorizer, serverless computingAbstract
Increasing concerns regarding security and scalability for rapid adoption of cloud native application which required advance architectural solutions. The objective research paper is to present a framework that integrates AWS Key Management Service (KMS) with Lambda Authorizers and Web Application Firewall (WAF) techniques which helps in enhancing security while ensuring efficient scalability in serverless environments.
