S3 Bucket Encryption Doesn't Work the Way You Think
The article discusses the intricacies of S3 bucket encryption within Amazon Web Services (AWS). The author points out that many users mistakenly believe that enabling encryption on an S3 bucket automatically protects all data. In reality, the encryption process is not that straightforward and requires additional attention from the user. For example, the author emphasizes that encryption only applies to new data being uploaded to the bucket, not to the data that is already stored there. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how encryption works and its limitations. The article further explores various encryption methods, including keys and algorithms that may be employed in the process. Ultimately, the author encourages readers to rethink their data security strategy in the cloud to fully leverage the capabilities offered by encryption in AWS.
