This module implements a pluggable Hardware Security Module (HSM) and external Key Management Service (KMS) integration layer for ExpenseFlow, providing enterprise-grade cryptographic operations with fallback mechanisms and health monitoring.
The main service orchestrates multiple KMS providers with automatic failover, envelope encryption, and comprehensive monitoring.
Pluggable adapters for different KMS providers following the Adapter pattern:
- AWS KMS Adapter: Amazon Web Services Key Management Service
- Azure Key Vault Adapter: Microsoft Azure Key Vault
- Google Cloud KMS Adapter: Google Cloud Key Management Service
Implements resilience with configurable failure thresholds and recovery timeouts to prevent cascading failures.

| Azure Key Vault | @azure/keyvault-keys | ✅ | RSA, EC | RSA-OAEP-256, A256GCM |

const kms = new KMSIntegrationService({
providers: {

});// Direct encryption
const result = await kms.encrypt('my-key-id', Buffer.from('sensitive data'));
console.log('Encrypted with provider:', result.provider);
// Envelope encryption (recommended for large data)
const envelope = await kms.envelopeEncrypt(dataEncryptionKey, 'key-encryption-key-id');
console.log('Envelope created:', envelope.keyId);// Direct decryption
const result = await kms.decrypt('my-key-id', encryptedData);
console.log('Decrypted data:', result.plaintext);
// Envelope decryption
const decryptedKey = await kms.envelopeDecrypt(envelope);
console.log('DEK recovered:', decryptedKey.dataEncryptionKey);// Generate a new key
const keyResult = await kms.generateKey('new-key-id', {

});
console.log('Key created:', keyResult.keyId);
// Get key information
const keyInfo = await kms.getKeyInfo('existing-key-id');
console.log('Key state:', keyInfo.keyState);Envelope encryption provides better performance for large datasets by encrypting data with a Data Encryption Key (DEK) and encrypting the DEK with a Key Encryption Key (KEK) stored in the KMS.
// Encrypt large data with envelope encryption
const dataEncryptionKey = crypto.randomBytes(32); // AES-256 DEK
// Create envelope
const envelope = await kms.envelopeEncrypt(dataEncryptionKey, 'kek-id');
// Encrypt data with DEK
const cipher = crypto.createCipher('aes-256-gcm', dataEncryptionKey);
let encrypted = cipher.update(largeData);
encrypted = Buffer.concat([encrypted, cipher.final()]);
const authTag = cipher.getAuthTag();
// Store: { encrypted, authTag, envelope }
// Decrypt
const recoveredDek = await kms.envelopeDecrypt(envelope);
const decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aes-256-gcm', recoveredDek.dataEncryptionKey);
decipher.setAuthTag(authTag);
let decrypted = decipher.update(encrypted);
decrypted = Buffer.concat([decrypted, decipher.final()]);The service automatically falls back to healthy providers when others fail:
// Configure fallback order
const kms = new KMSIntegrationService({
fallbackOrder: ['aws-kms', 'azure-keyvault', 'gcp-kms'] // Try AWS first, then Azure, then GCP
});
// Operations automatically use fallback
try {
const result = await kms.encrypt('key-id', data);
console.log('Success with provider:', result.provider);
} catch (error) {
console.log('All providers failed:', error.message);
}const health = await kms.healthCheck();

// Individual provider status
