HCL_PERF1. How do you encrypt data
while ensuring performance?
Offload encryption to
hardware
Certain encryption approaches, such as VPN tunnels or IPsec
meshes, can impact performance when implemented at scale.
Where possible, offload encryption to hardware to maintain
security while improving performance.
The AWS Nitro System provides hardware components that allow
for easy offloading of encryption services to the hardware.
For example, some instance types use the hardware capabilities
of the Nitro System hardware to encrypt in-transit traffic
between instances with no impact to network performance. This
allows healthcare organizations to enable encryption
in-transit for sensitive healthcare data. Use instance types
that support the Nitro System where possible.
