Encryption at rest

Focus mode
Encryption at rest - Amazon Lex

Amazon Lex V2 encrypts user utterances and other information that it stores.

Sample utterances

When you develop a bot, you can provide sample utterances for each intent and slot. You can also provide custom values and synonyms for slots. This information is encrypted at rest, and it is used only to build the bot and create the customer experience.

Session attributes

Session attributes contain application-specific information that is passed between Amazon Lex V2 and client applications. Amazon Lex V2 passes session attributes to all AWS Lambda functions configured for a bot. If a Lambda function adds or updates session attributes, Amazon Lex V2 passes the new information back to the client application.

Session attributes persist in an encrypted store for the duration of the session. You can configure the session to remain active for a minimum of 1 minute and up to 24 hours after the last user utterance. The default session duration is 5 minutes.

Request attributes

Request attributes contain request-specific information and apply only to the current request. A client application uses request attributes to send information to Amazon Lex V2 at runtime.

You use request attributes to pass information that doesn't need to persist for the entire session. Because request attributes don't persist across requests, they aren't stored.
