A default deny
Regarding the evaluation logic when managing Access to Your Amazon SNS Topics, the following things can be stated.The goal at evaluation time is to decide whether a given request should be allowed or denied. The evaluation logic follows several basic rules:- By default, all requests to use your resource coming from anyone but you are denied- An allow overrides any default denies- An explicit deny overrides any allows- The order in which the policies are evaluated is not important- A policy results in a default deny if it doesn't directly apply to the request.Keeping the above in mind, what will be the policy result, if a user requests to use Amazon SNS, but the policy on the topic doesn't refer to the user's AWS account at all?
Each object is encrypted with a unique key employing strong encryption. As an additional safeguard, it encrypts the key itself with a master key that it regularly rotates.
Server-side encryption is about data encryption at rest.
