I have a Lambda(NodeJS) function that writes data to DynamoDB. Some of that data needs to be encrypted. I'm encrypting using KMS encrypt and storing. When I retrieve from Dynamo using a different Lambda function and try to decrypt, I get an error. If I encrypt and then turn around a decrypt, I'm able to do that, but if I'm reading the encrypted value from the DB, it won't decrypt. My encrypt/store code is below:
console.log('Loading event');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var keyId = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:5423542542:key/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx";
var tableName = "person";
var dynamoDBConfiguration = {
"region": "us-west-2"
};
AWS.config.update(dynamoDBConfiguration);
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({apiVersion: '2012-08-10'});
var kms = new AWS.KMS({region: 'us-east-1'});
var newId = "1234-56789-101112-13141516";
var item = {};
exports.handler = function (event, context) {
console.log('ssn');
//encrypt it
var ssnParams = {
KeyId: keyId,
Plaintext: "123-45-6789"
};
kms.encrypt(ssnParams, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err, err.stack);
}
else {
console.log(' ssn encrypted');
var enc_ssn = data.CiphertextBlob;
item["SSN"] = {"Value": {"B": enc_ssn}};
item["First_Name"] = {"Value": {"S": "Joe"}};
item["Last_Name"] = {"Value": {"S": "Blow"}};
dynamodb.updateItem({
"TableName": tableName,
"AttributeUpdates": item,
"ReturnValues": "ALL_NEW",
"Key": {
"id": {"S": newId}
}
}, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
context.done(err);
}
else {
console.log('great success: %j', data);
context.succeed("Person Successfully Inserted");
}
});
}
});
};
My retrieval/decrypt code is as follows:
console.log('Loading event');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var dynamoDBConfiguration = {
"region": "us-west-2"
};
AWS.config.update(dynamoDBConfiguration);
var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB({apiVersion: '2012-08-10'});
var keyId = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:5423542542:key/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx";
var tableName = "person";
var kms = new AWS.KMS({region: 'us-east-1'});
exports.handler = function (event, context) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(event, null, ' '));
var params = {};
var id = event.id;
console.log(id);
if (id && id !== '') {
params = {
"TableName": tableName,
KeyConditionExpression: "id = :id",
ExpressionAttributeValues: {
':id': {'S': id}
}
};
dynamodb.query(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
context.done(err);
}
else {
var person = data.Items[0];
console.log('query success');
console.log(person);
if (person.SSN) {
console.log('have ssn');
var b_ssn = person.SSN;
console.log(b_ssn);
person.SSNtext = "";
var encryptedParams = {
CiphertextBlob: Buffer(b_ssn, 'base64'),
};
kms.decrypt(encryptedParams, function (err, decrypteddata) {
if (err) {
console.log(err, err.stack);
//context.done(err);
}
else {
person.SSNtext = decrypteddata.Plaintext.toString();
console.log(decrypteddata.Plaintext.toString());
context.succeed(person);
}
});
}
}
});
}
else {
params = {
"TableName": tableName
};
dynamodb.scan(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
context.done(err);
}
else {
console.log('scan success');
context.succeed(data);
}
});
}
};
When I run this code, I get the following error:

I can encrypt and decrypt the encrypted value, but when I store the value, retrieve it and try to decrypt it, it fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay - I've got this working and I wanted to post here in case someone else may be struggling with the same thing. When you put data into DynamoDB, you use something like this:
item["First_Name"] = {"Value":{"S": "Joe"}};
when I retrieved it, I didn't get a string back, I got an object. So when I have a row called person that I just retrieved, I have to then get to the value like this:
first_name = person.First_Name.S;
//results in first_name = "Joe";
So the issue I was having is that I was trying to pass the object person.First_Name to the decrypt method and not the value of person.First_Name.S
