Internetwork traffic privacy - Amazon Aurora
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Internetwork traffic privacy

Connections are protected both between Amazon Aurora and on-premises applications and between Amazon Aurora and other Amazon resources within the same Amazon Region.

Traffic between service and on-premises clients and applications

You have two connectivity options between your private network and Amazon:

You get access to Amazon Aurora through the network by using Amazon-published API operations. Clients must support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0. We recommend TLS 1.2. Clients must also support cipher suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes. Additionally, you must sign requests using an access key identifier and a secret access key that are associated with an IAM principal. Or you can use the Amazon security token service (STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests.
