PostQuantum.FileEncryption.Aws

Envelope encryption with AWS KMS — your master key never leaves AWS. AwsKmsContentKeyProvider plugs AWS KMS into PostQuantum.FileEncryption's IContentKeyProvider seam: every file is encrypted under a fresh per-file content key that KMS GenerateDataKey wraps under your customer master key; decryption sends only the small wrapped blob back to KMS Decrypt.

dotnet add package PostQuantum.FileEncryption.Aws

Usage

using Amazon.KeyManagementService;
using PostQuantum.FileEncryption;
using PostQuantum.FileEncryption.Aws;

var kms = new AmazonKeyManagementServiceClient();          // credentials from the usual AWS chain
var provider = new AwsKmsContentKeyProvider(kms, "alias/my-app-key");

await new PqFileEncryptor().EncryptFileAsync("report.pdf", "report.pdf.pqfe", provider);
await new PqFileDecryptor().DecryptFileAsync("report.pdf.pqfe", "report.pdf", provider);

Optionally bind extra encryption context (audited by CloudTrail, required to unwrap):

var provider = new AwsKmsContentKeyProvider(kms, "alias/my-app-key",
    new Dictionary<string, string> { ["tenant"] = "contoso" });

Security behavior

  • The master key stays in KMS. Only the per-file content key crosses the boundary, and only wrapped. Rotation re-wraps the small content key — multi-gigabyte payloads are never re-encrypted.
  • Bound wraps. Every wrap carries a library-specific encryption context (plus your entries), and unwrap pins the configured key id — a blob wrapped under a different key or context fails closed with PqDecryptionException, indistinguishable from tampering.
  • Operational errors stay operational. Missing keys, access denial, throttling, and network failures surface as the AWS SDK's own exceptions, not as decryption failures.
  • IAM permissions needed: kms:GenerateDataKey to encrypt, kms:Decrypt to decrypt.

Versioning

Kept in lockstep with PostQuantum.FileEncryption. No change to the .pqfe v2 container format, which remains FROZEN for the 1.x line.
