AWS S3 Encryption

Encrypt S3 without handing Amazon the last key

Objects stay in S3 for scale. Decryption still requires a key share you hold outside AWS.

Encrypt S3 objects

Client-side encryption for Amazon S3: objects are encrypted before they reach AWS, and decryption still needs a key share you hold outside AWS.

Client-side

Objects are encrypted before upload; S3 only stores ciphertext.

S3 scale stays

Keep S3 for durability and scale, without trusting it with the key.

Tracked

Every access to the key is logged with a full audit trail.

Encrypted before it leaves.

Unlike server-side encryption with AWS KMS, DuoKey client-side encryption seals objects before they are sent to S3.

  • AWS infrastructure never sees the plaintext.
  • Works with your existing buckets.

A key share outside AWS.

Keys are split with multi-party computation, and the share needed to decrypt stays outside AWS, in your tenant and vault.

  • No single party, AWS included, holds a complete key.
  • Dedicated tenant and vault for your keys.

No third party can read it.

Because AWS never holds the key, a provider-side access, request or breach yields ciphertext only.

  • Supports GDPR and HIPAA requirements.
  • Your keys, your decision.

Every access, tracked.

Logging and monitoring show who accessed encrypted data, when and with which key, with a detailed audit trail.

  • Spot unusual access patterns.
  • Evidence for compliance reviews.
