Abstract
A key store microservice is provided for a cloud based identity management system. The key store microservice receives, over a network, a request from a client application to retrieve a key, the request including a tenancy identifier, and determines whether the key is present in a tenant specific memory cache associated with the tenancy identifier. When the key is determined to be present in the tenant specific memory cache, the key store microservice retrieves the key from the tenant specific memory cache, retrieves a decryption key from a key wallet, decrypts the key retrieved from the tenant specific memory cache using the decryption key retrieved from the key wallet, and sends, over the network, the key to the client.
