About

This project's goal is to implement an automated, secure method of encrypting data before uploading it to AWS S3 and decrypting the data from AWS S3. The project's goal is to investigate the drawbacks of AWS SDK encryption as well as the advantages of using Python crypto libraries for encryption, including improved portability, flexibility, and control. The project also aims to show how well this method works at protecting data and minimizing manual.

The project also aims to develop a methodology for client-side encryption implementation using Python crypto libraries, which includes identifying the data that needs to be encrypted, choosing the encryption algorithm and key management system, implementing the encryption process using Python crypto libraries, automating the encryption process using Python, managing the encryption keys appropriately, and monitoring the encryption and decryption processes.
