Hello and welcome to this course focused on the five different S3 encryption mechanisms covering SSE-S3, SSE-KMS, SSE-C, CSE-KMS, and CSE-C, and I'll explain how both the encryption and decryption process works for each option.

Before we start, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Stuart Scott. I'm one of the trainers here at Cloud Academy specializing in AWS, Amazon Web Services. Feel free to connect with me with any questions using the details shown on the screen. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com where one of our cloud experts will reply to your question.

This course is specifically designed for those who are responsible for storing, managing, and protecting data that is stored on Amazon S3.

The content of this course will focus on the following lectures:

Overview of encryption mechanisms
Server-Side Encryption with S3 Managed Keys
Server-Side Encryption with KMS Managed Keys
Server-Side Encryption with Customer Provided Keys
Client-Side Encryption with KMS Managed Keys
Client-Side Encryption with Customer Provided Key

Each lecture within this course has been specifically designed to be short, focused, and to the point delivering a single objective from each lecture.

This course does not focus on recommendations of when to encrypt data or discuss the pros and cons for each encryption method. Instead, the single objective of this course is to enable you to understand the process for encryption and decryption for all S3 encryption options, providing you a full understanding of how S3 is protecting and securing your data when an encryption option is needed based on your business requirements.

For this course, it is essential that you have an understanding of S3 and have the knowledge to enable you to upload and retrieve data along with how to select different encryption options. In addition to this, you must also be familiar with the KMS service and understand both Customer Master Keys, CMKs, and data encryption keys. For additional information on these points, please search our content library for these existing courses as shown on the screen.

Feedback on our courses here at Cloud Academy are valuable to both us as trainers and any students looking to take the same course in the future. If you have any feedback, positive or negative, it would be greatly appreciated if you can contact support@cloudacademy.com.

That brings me to the end of this lecture. Coming up next, I'll provide an overview of the five different encryption mechanisms.
