[CipherStash for DynamoDB](https://github.com/cipherstash/cipherstash-dynamodb/) is built on CipherStash’s ZeroKMS key management service, and is backed by AWS’s industry-leading Key Management Service [AWS KMS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/). CipherStash for DynamoDB eliminates the need for you to choose between security, functionality, and performance. You can have all three. 

With **CipherStash for DynamoDB**, Rust developers can perform client-side encryption of their most sensitive data (like [PII](https://cipherstash.com/docs/stack/reference/compliance) and [PHI](https://cipherstash.com/docs/stack/reference/compliance)) and perform searches against that encrypted data in DynamoDB, without *ever* decrypting it server-side. This is made possible with CipherStash’s unique searchable encryption in use technology. The Rust SDK supports a range of search functionality, including exact, prefix, and compound match [indexing](https://github.com/cipherstash/cipherstash-dynamodb?tab=readme-ov-file#indexing), [partition and sort key management](https://github.com/cipherstash/cipherstash-dynamodb?tab=readme-ov-file#sort-keys),, [table verticalization](https://github.com/cipherstash/cipherstash-dynamodb?tab=readme-ov-file#table-verticalization), and [data views](https://github.com/cipherstash/cipherstash-dynamodb?tab=readme-ov-file#data-views).
