Abstract
The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for the replication of secret keys between server nodes. Keys for encryption and decryption are persisted in a log file on a first database hosted on a primary server. The log file comprises data for executed database transactions at the first database and key management operations at a first key store. In response to triggering a synchronization between the primary server and a secondary server, a set of sequential entries of the log file are replayed at the secondary server from the first database. An execution of a transaction is replicated at a secondary database at the secondary server based on data for an entry at the log file and a key management operation associated with a key at the first key store that is persisted in another entry of the log file is replicated.
