Q1Domain Verified
When implementing a multi-account strategy for AWS KMS keys, which approach best aligns with the principle of least privilege and facilitates centralized auditing of key usage across the organization?
Sharing a single KMS key from a central account with all other accounts that require access.
Creating individual KMS keys for each account and granting cross-account access as needed.
Designing a KMS key hierarchy where a master key in a central account encrypts data keys generated by keys in individual accounts.
Utilizing AWS Organizations' Service Control Policies (SCPs) to restrict KMS key creation and usage in member accounts.
Q2Domain Verified
A security architect is designing a data lake architecture on AWS where sensitive data resides in S3 buckets. To ensure data at rest is encrypted with customer-managed KMS keys, and to prevent accidental deletion of the KMS keys themselves, what is the most robust configuration?
Enable client-side encryption using the AWS Encryption SDK with a customer-managed KMS key, and then upload the encrypted data to S3.
Enable server-side encryption with customer-managed KMS keys (SSE-KMS) on the S3 bucket and configure a key policy that explicitly denies deletion by all principals.
Enable server-side encryption with customer-managed KMS keys (SSE-KMS) on the S3 bucket and disable key deletion for the KMS key.
Enable server-side encryption with AWS-managed KMS keys (SSE-KMS) on the S3 bucket.
Q3Domain Verified
In a scenario where an application needs to access sensitive data stored in an S3 bucket, and this data is encrypted with a KMS key that is managed by a different AWS account (the "key owner account"), what is the primary mechanism used to grant the application's IAM role permission to use the KMS key for decryption?
An S3 bucket policy on the data bucket that allows the application's IAM role to decrypt objects using the specified KMS key.
A trust relationship policy on the KMS key in the owner account that permits the application account to assume a role with KMS access.
A KMS key policy on the key in the owner account that allows access from the application's IAM role's ARN.
An IAM policy attached to the application's IAM role that specifies the ARN of the KMS key and grants `kms:Decrypt` permission.
