Amazon QLDB only accepts secure connections that use the HTTPS protocol, which protects network traffic by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS). Encryption in transit provides an additional layer of data protection by encrypting your data as it travels to and from QLDB. Organizational policies, industry or government regulations, and compliance requirements often require the use of encryption in transit to increase the data security of your applications when they transmit data over the network.
QLDB also offers FIPS endpoints in selected Regions. Unlike standard AWS endpoints, FIPS endpoints use a TLS software library that complies with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. These endpoints might be required by enterprises that interact with the United States government. For more information, see FIPS endpoints in the AWS General Reference. For a complete list of Regions and endpoints that are available for QLDB, see Amazon QLDB endpoints and quotas.
