Abstract: A honeypot resource management service receives a request to provision one or more honeypot resources. In response to the request, the service identifies at least one computing resource service that is to be used to present the one or more honeypot resources. The service generates configuration information that is transmitted to the at least one computing resource service to cause the computing resource service to present the one or more honeypot resources to users in accordance with a set of parameters specified in the configuration information.

Abstract: A credential management system is described that provides a way to disable and/or rotate credentials, such as when a credential is suspected to have been compromised, while minimizing potential impact to various systems that may depend on such credentials. The credentials may be disabled temporarily at first and the availability of various resources is monitored for changes. If no significant drop of availability in the resources has occurred, the credential may be disabled for a longer period of time. In this manner, the credentials may be disabled and re-enabled for increasingly longer time intervals until it is determined with sufficient confidence/certainty that disabling the credential will not adversely impact critical systems, at which point the credential can be rotated and/or permanently disabled. This process also enables the system to determine which systems are affected by a credential in cases where such information is not known.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a security mechanism evaluation service are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that when executed on a processor define a programmatic interface enabling a client to submit an evaluation request for a security mechanism. On receiving an evaluation request from a client indicating a particular security mechanism using public-key encryption, the instructions when executed, identify resources of a provider network to be used to respond. The instructions, when executed, provide to the client, one or more of: (a) a trustworthiness indicator for a certificate authority that issued a public-key certificate in accordance with the particular security mechanism; (b) a result of a syntax analysis of the public-key certificate; or (c) a vulnerability indicator for a key pair.
