You can use environment variables to store secrets securely for use with Lambda functions\. Lambda always encrypts environment variables at rest\.

+ **Key configuration** – On a per\-function basis, you can configure Lambda to use an encryption key that you create and manage in AWS Key Management Service\. These are referred to as *customer managed* customer master keys \(CMKs\) or customer managed keys\. If you don't configure a customer managed key, Lambda uses an AWS managed CMK named `aws/lambda`, which Lambda creates in your account\.

The console also provides sample code that you can adapt to decrypt the values in your function handler\.
