AWS Advanced JDBC Wrapper now provides client-side encryption

The AWS Advanced JDBC Wrapper now provides column-level client-side encryption through its KMS Encryption plugin. The wrapper provides advanced capabilities such as failover handling, AWS authentication integration, and enhanced monitoring for Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS open source databases. It enables Java applications to encrypt sensitive data before it reaches the database without changing application code. Database encryption at rest and TLS in transit are foundational security controls. However, with these controls decrypt the data within the database engine.
