The AWS Encryption SDK is a client-side encryption library designed to make it easy for everyone to encrypt and decrypt data using industry standards and best practices. It enables you to focus on the core functionality of your application, rather than on how to best encrypt and decrypt your data. The AWS Encryption SDK is provided free of charge under the Apache 2.0 license. With the AWS Encryption SDK, you define a master key provider (Java and Python) or a keyring (C, C#/.NET, and JavaScript) that determines which wrapping keys you use to protect your data. Then you encrypt and decrypt your data using straightforward methods provided by the AWS Encryption SDK. The AWS Encryption SDK does the rest. Without the AWS Encryption SDK, you might spend more effort on building an encryption solution than on the core functionality of your application. By default, the AWS Encryption SDK generates a unique data key for each data object that it encrypts.
Features
- A default implementation that adheres to cryptography best practices
- By default, the AWS Encryption SDK generates a unique data key for each data object that it encrypts
- The AWS Encryption SDK encrypts your data using a secure, authenticated, symmetric key algorithm
- A framework for protecting data keys with wrapping keys
- A formatted message that stores encrypted data keys with the encrypted data
- The AWS Encryption SDK protects the data keys that encrypt your data by encrypting them under one or more wrapping keys
