Encryption Overview

Encryption in transit (SSL/TLS)

• This protects your data if communications are intercepted while data moves between your site and the cloud provider or between two services.

• This protection is achieved by encrypting the data before transmission; authenticating the endpoints; and decrypting and verifying the data on arrival.

Server side encryption

• Server-side encryption is the encryption of data at its destination by the application or service that receives it.

Client side encryption

• Client-side encryption is the encryption of data on the sender's side, before it is transmitted to AWS.
