  • Publication number: 20220417036
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for rotating keys in a trust store to be used by a group of peer devices for secure communications between the peers in the group. In some examples, a service, such as an identify authority service, may make a determination that a set of peers that individually trust at least one public key from a group of public keys satisfies a set of conditions. As a result of the determination, the service may update the plurality of public keys by at least removing at least one public key from the group of public keys and indicate the updated plurality of public keys to at least one of the peers in the group. The service may remove the at least one public key from the group upon determining that less than a threshold number of peers in the group use the at least one public key.

  • Patent number: 10397236
    Abstract: A customer's resources are protected from malicious or accidental deletion or termination. In some embodiments anomaly detection is used for identifying suspicious activities, which is combined with options to restore previously deleted resources. To define and detect anomalies, resource profiles are generated indicative of how resources are being used, and user profiles of how users use resources of the compute service provider. Instead of immediately deleting a resource, a temporary marker can be placed on the resource. The temporary marker blocks attempts to access the resource just as if the resource was deleted. However, the resource can easily be recovered by simply removing the marker. When a deletion event is identified as anomalous, an alert is generated to the customer. Upon receiving the alert, customers can opt to restore the resource that has been deleted, which will remove the marker.
