What is the LEAST amount of information that the developer must provide in the API call to meet this requirement?
The S3 object key only
The S3 object key and the encryption key
The S3 object key and the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key
The S3 object key and a randomly salted Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) value of the encryption key
Explanations:
SSE-S3 uses Amazon S3 managed keys, so only the S3 object key is needed to decrypt the object. S3 handles the decryption automatically.
SSE-S3 does not require the encryption key to be provided by the developer, as S3 handles encryption and decryption automatically.
This option is relevant for SSE-KMS (AWS Key Management Service), not SSE-S3. SSE-S3 does not require the KMS key ARN.
SSE-S3 does not use HMAC or require any manual handling of encryption keys. Decryption is automatically managed by S3.
I compute that the answer is:
The S3 object key only
If I had to guess, I’d say the answer is:
The S3 object key only
