KMS # As Acra stores all intermediate keys encrypted, it needs Acra Master Key to decrypt them. KMS is used to store Acra Master Key. While KMS can be used to store all the intermediate keys, we strongly don’t recommend it, as it might be quite expensive and might become performance bottleneck. KMS' functionality # Most Acra services and tools, like AcraServer, AcraTranslator and AnyProxy, can read Acra Master Key from environment variable, but they can read it from KMS as well.
