AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
A company is migrating an application to the cloud and will store highly sensitive files in an object storage service. To adhere to their strict security protocols, the encryption keys must remain solely under the company's control and not be transmitted outside their environment. Which technique should the application developers use to protect the files before transferring them to the storage service?
Encrypt files on-premises using the company's own encryption mechanisms and keys prior to upload
Activate automatic encryption provided by the object storage service upon file upload
Leverage the cloud platform to supply encryption keys each time files need to be secured
Designate the cloud provider’s key management service to handle encryption key generation and rotation
Encrypting data on the developer's side before sending it to the storage service is the right approach when the encryption keys must be managed within the company’s control. This procedure, known as client-side encryption, ensures that the keys are not exposed to the cloud platform during transit or at rest, satisfying the security policy that keys must not leave the company's environment. All server-side encryption options would not fit the requirement since they involve the handling or transmission of keys within the cloud platform's environment.
