AWS Cloud Customer Document Unlocking Service
Developed an automated document unlocking and decryption service using AWS Lambda and SSM.
The API service automates the decryption of banking partner documents using AWS Lambda and SSM.
By eliminating manual key retrieval, the solution accelerates document processing for OCR analysis.
Operating within a private VPC ensures security and compliance with financial regulations.
The serverless architecture reduced infrastructure costs by up to 99%, optimizing performance and scalability.
Outcomes
What the platform unlocked once it landed in production. Each one is a measured behaviour change, not a feature promise.
- 01
Eliminate manual key retrieval
An API endpoint replaces a manual support process — passwords resolved on demand, no human in the loop for the routine case.
- 02
Accelerate OCR throughput
Documents unlock as soon as they arrive, so downstream OCR analysis isn't blocked waiting on the operations team.
- 03
Operate inside a private VPC
All decryption happens behind the bank's network boundary, with SSM-managed secrets and no inbound public surface.
- 04
Cut infrastructure costs sharply
Serverless on demand — Lambda + SSM + SAM means you pay for invocations, not idle servers.
- 05
No servers to manage
Deployed via CodePipeline + SAM; the support team never logs into a box.
