Service: resilience-hub · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: resilience-hub/latest/userguide/encryption-at-rest-cmk.md · Type: encryption

Summary

Terminology update replacing 'assumption' with 'assertion' across the customer managed key encryption documentation, including data type tables, Encrypt permission descriptions, and encryption context keys.

Security assessment

The change only renames a data type term within existing encryption-at-rest documentation; no new security control, permission, or vulnerability fix is introduced.
