Using the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB for .NET

The AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB is available on NuGet and can referenced from an existing .csproj through typical ways.

Using the dotnet CLI:

dotnet add <your-project-name>.csproj package AWS.Cryptography.DbEncryptionSDK.DynamoDb

Alternatively, you may directly modify the .csproj and add the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB to PackageReference ItemGroup:

<PackageReference Include="AWS.Cryptography.DbEncryptionSDK.DynamoDb" />

The AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB targets .NET 6.0 and newer on all platforms, and .NET Framework 4.8.0 and newer on Windows only.

Additional setup for macOS only

If you are using macOS then you must install OpenSSL 1.1, and the OpenSSL 1.1 lib directory must be on the dynamic linker path at runtime. Also, if using an M1-based Mac, you must install OpenSSL and the .NET SDK for x86-64. Please refer to the wiki for detailed instructions.

Building the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB for .NET

To build, the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB requires the most up to date version of Dafny on your PATH.

The AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB targets frameworks net48 and net6.0. To build and test the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB, you must install the following .NET tools:

• .NET 6.0 or newer
• .NET Framework 4.8.0 or newer (if on Windows)

You will also need to ensure that you fetch all submodules using either git clone --recursive ... when cloning the repository or git submodule update --init on an existing clone.

To build all source files into one dll:

# Transpile Dafny to .NET
cd DynamoDbEncryption
make transpile_implementation_net
# Run dotnet restore
make setup_net
# Run dotnet build
dotnet build runtimes/net

(Optional) Set up the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB to work with AWS KMS

If you set up the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB to use the AWS KMS Keyring, the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB will make calls to AWS KMS on your behalf, using the appropriate AWS SDK.

However, you must first set up AWS credentials for use with the AWS SDK. Instructions for setting up AWS credentials are available in the AWS Docs for the AWS SDK for .NET..

Testing the AWS Database Encryption SDK for DynamoDB for .NET

Configure AWS credentials

To run the test suite you must first set up AWS credentials for use with the AWS SDK. This is required in order to run the integration tests, which use a KMS Keyring against a publicly accessible KMS CMK.

Instructions for setting up AWS credentials are available in the AWS Docs for the AWS SDK for .NET.

Run the tests

Run the test suite with:

cd DynamoDbEncryption
make transpile_test_net
# Windows/Linux
make test_net
# On Mac
make test_net_mac_brew

Run tests on examples, to ensure they are up to date:

cd Examples
make transpile_net
cd runtimes/net
dotnet run

Please note that tests and test vectors require internet access and valid AWS credentials, since calls to KMS are made as part of the test workflow.

Other Development advice

Most c# IDEs appreciate Solution files. To generate one Solution file for all the projects here, run:

cd DynamoDbEncryption/runtimes/net
dotnet new sln --name DBESDK
dotnet sln add $(find . -name '*.csproj')

Then ask your IDE to open DBESDK.sln.
