New - Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption for Data at Rest

http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/10/new-amazon-s3-server-side-encryption.html

Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption handles all encryption, decryption, and key management in a totally transparent fashion. When you PUT an object and request encryption (in an HTTP header supplied as part of the PUT), we generate a unique key, encrypt your data with the key, and then encrypt the key with a master key. For added protection, keys are stored in hosts that are separate and distinct from those used to store your data.
