AWS redshift medium security documentation change
Summary
Updated RSQL version to 1.1.0 across platforms, added Linux artifact signature verification, removed OpenSSL dependencies, and streamlined installation steps
Security assessment
The addition of Linux artifact signature key and signed hash links provides cryptographic verification capabilities, which directly improves security by allowing users to validate package integrity. Removing OpenSSL references could indicate dependency changes but lacks explicit security context. Signature verification addition constitutes concrete security documentation enhancement.
