Hedera + AWS KMS Signing Workshop

Sign Hedera transactions using AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Private keys stay secure in AWS - you only receive signatures.

Quick Start

See WORKSHOP.md for the full step-by-step guide.

git clone https://github.com/hedera-dev/aws-kms-workshop.git
cd aws-kms-workshop
npm install
# Follow WORKSHOP.md to configure AWS KMS and .env
npm start

Prerequisites

• AWS Account with KMS access
• Node.js 18+
• Hedera Testnet Account (portal.hedera.com)

Why KMS?

• Private keys never leave AWS infrastructure
• Tamper-resistant hardware security modules (HSMs)
• Audit logs and access controls built-in
• Key rotation capabilities
