The Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client for Python provides client-side encryption of Amazon DynamoDB items to help you to protect your table data before you send it to DynamoDB. It provides an implementation of the Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client that is fully compatible with the Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client for Java. The helper clients provide a familiar interface but the actual item encryption and decryption is handled by a low-level item encryptor. You usually will not need to interact with these low-level functions, but for certain advanced use cases it can be useful. If you do choose to use the item encryptor functions directly, you will need to provide a CryptoConfig for each call. By default, the helper clients use your attribute actions and cryptographic materials provider to build the CryptoConfig that is provided to the item encryptor. For some advanced use cases, you might want to provide a custom CryptoConfig for specific operations.
Features
- You can find our source on GitHub
- Requires Python 3.6+
- We provide helper clients that look and feel like the low level client
- For most uses, the helper clients (once configured) can be used as drop-in replacements for the boto3 clients
- The helper clients provide a familiar interface but the actual item encryption and decryption is handled by a low-level item encryptor
- All data plane operations (get item, put item, etc) on helper clients accept a crypto_config parameter in addition to all of the parameters that the underlying boto3 client accepts
