It wraps boto3's DynamoDB client, resource, and table interfaces to transparently encrypt items before they reach DynamoDB and decrypt them on retrieval. The library supports attribute-level encryption and signing, allowing you to protect sensitive data while still querying unencrypted attributes.\n\nThe package provides two usage patterns: helper clients (EncryptedClient, EncryptedResource, EncryptedTable) that act as drop-in replacements for boto3 equivalents, and low-level item encryptor functions for advanced use cases like processing DynamoDB Streams. It depends on boto3 for AWS communication, cryptography for encryption primitives, and attrs for internal data structures. Note that the helper clients intentionally block update_item and attribute filtering operations to prevent signature validation failures from partial updates or missing signed attributes.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is an actively maintained, production-stable AWS library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need client-side encryption for DynamoDB items. Be aware that helper clients intentionally restrict update_item and attribute filtering to prevent signature validation failures\u2014review the documentation to confirm this aligns with your access patterns."},"id":"dynamodb-encryption-sdk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dynamodb-encryption-sdk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dynamodb-encryption-sdk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dynamodb-encryption-sdk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dynamodb-encryption-sdk","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"DynamoDB Encryption Client for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":131093,"position":11608,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3.0"}
