Incredible!
- cyberax 2y agoNot really. They can just use a public key to encrypt ephemeral symmetric keys. The private key is stored inside AWS and is never exposed to the device.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoI guess that makes sense. So it's like a ballot box you can drop data into but only Amazon can pull it back out. Still a bit misleading. The public key is on the device (which is fine) and that's the key it uses to encrypt the data (if we consider the symmetric key as just a performance optimization)
