KMS Key Policy and Envelope Encryption
Master AWS KMS key policies, envelope encryption, cross-service integration, and operational auditing — essential SAP-C02 encryption and data protection skills.
Lab Overview
Implement professional AWS KMS encryption patterns for SAP-C02 Domain 1 (Design Secure Architectures). Create customer-managed keys with custom key policies granting least-privilege access. Perform envelope encryption using data keys generated from KMS with local OpenSSL encrypt/decrypt. Configure S3 default encryption with KMS and demonstrate transparent server-side decryption. Integrate SNS with KMS for encrypted message delivery. Build a CloudWatch-based audit trail monitoring KMS API call patterns — the encryption and key management foundation tested across architecture design and security review scenarios.
