The software engineering team needs to make changes that will address the audit findings.
Which set of steps should the software engineering team take?

  • A. Use an AWS Key Management Service (AWS CMK) CMK. Encrypt the data at rest.
  • B. Use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Private Certificate Authority. Encrypt the data in transit.
  • C. Use a DynamoDB encryption client. Use client-side encryption and sign the table items.

according with this link, the answer should be D: "Our client-side encryption library was renamed to the AWS Database Encryption SDK."

No. AWS Encryption SDK (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/encryption-sdk/latest/developer-guide/introduction.html) and AWS Database Encryption SDK (former Dybamo DB encryption client) are 2 different things. So the link enforce the use of AWS Database Encryption SDK that is formely known as Dybamo DB encryption client. Likely this question was not updated.

Option D, using the AWS Encryption SDK for client-side encryption and signing of the DynamoDB table items, is the correct option that addresses the audit findings for end-to-end data protection and the ability to detect unauthorized data changes.

Selected Answer: C
The DynamoDB Encryption Client supports client-side encryption, where you encrypt your table data before you send it to DynamoDB. However, DynamoDB provides a server-side encryption at rest feature that transparently encrypts your table when it is persisted to disk and decrypts it when you access the table.

I'll go for A, as the DynamoDB Encryption Client is designed to be implemented in new, unpopulated databases and this is an existing database. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb-encryption-client/latest/devguide/what-is-ddb-encrypt.html

the question says "end to end encryption", and option A says "encrypt the data at rest". So, it is NOT an option.

DynamoDB protects user data stored at rest and also data in transit between on-premises clients and DynamoDB, and between DynamoDB and other AWS resources within the same AWS Region. C is the right answer
