Data Encryption is essential pillar of building modern applications. AWS Comes with AWS Encryption SDK.

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.

With the AWS Encryption SDK, you define a master key provider (Java or Python) or a keyring (C or JavaScript) that determines which master 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.

AWS Encryption SDK supports following programming languages:-

• C
• Java
• JavaScript
• Python
• Command line interface
