Bema Fisher developed automated encrypted data expiration controls for the ConductorOne/baton-sdk repository, focusing on improving data lifecycle management and security. By introducing TTL-based expiry through new lifetime_duration and time_to_live fields, Bema enabled encrypted assets to expire automatically, reducing manual intervention and supporting compliance with data retention policies. The work involved updating the Encrypt function in the JWK provider to populate TimeToLive, ensuring seamless integration of expiry logic. Utilizing Go, Protocol Buffers, and encryption techniques, Bema’s contribution addressed the challenge of stale data retention, delivering a targeted feature with clear business value and technical depth within a focused development period.
