Description​

At the Amazon S3 bucket level, you can configure permissions through a bucket policy, making objects accessible only through HTTPS.

Rationale​

By default, Amazon S3 allows both HTTP and HTTPS requests. To allow access to Amazon S3 objects only through HTTPS, you must explicitly deny access to HTTP requests. Bucket policies that allow HTTPS requests without explicitly denying HTTP requests do not comply with this recommendation.

Audit​

To allow access to HTTPS, you can use a bucket policy with the effect allow and a condition that checks for the key "aws:SecureTransport": "true". This means that HTTPS requests are allowed, but it does not deny HTTP requests. To explicitly deny HTTP access, ensure that there is also a bucket policy with the effect deny that contains the key "aws:SecureTransport": "false". You may also require TLS by setting a policy to deny any version lower than the one you wish to require, using the condition NumericLessThan and the key "s3:TlsVersion": "1.2".

From Console​

  1. Log in to AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console using https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/

  2. Select the checkbox next to the bucket.

  3. Click Permissions.

  4. Click Bucket Policy.

  5. Add either of the following to the existing policy, filling in the required information:

    {
        "Sid": "{{optional}}",
        "Effect": "Deny",
        "Principal": "*",
        "Action": "s3:*",
        "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::{{bucket_name}}/*",
        "Condition": {
            "Bool": {
                "aws:SecureTransport": "false"
            }
        }
    }

    or

    {
        "Sid": "{{optional}}",
        "Effect": "Deny",
        "Principal": "*",
        "Action": "s3:*",
        "Resource": [
            "arn:aws:s3:::{{bucket_name}}",
            "arn:aws:s3:::{{bucket_name}}/*"
        ],
        "Condition": {
            "NumericLessThan": {
                "s3:TlsVersion": "1.2"
            }
        }
    }

  6. Click Save.

  7. Repeat for all the buckets in your AWS account that contain sensitive data.
