Summary

Updated hyperlinks for KMS key policies and ARN references in encryption documentation.

Security assessment

The changes are minor updates to documentation links, pointing to more specific KMS and IAM pages. There is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident; they are routine corrections to maintain accurate references. Security implications are minimal, as the updates ensure proper guidance for encryption at rest features without altering security content.
