Option C is interesting, but it's a bit more complex. It uses the 'aws:SecureTransport' condition for all actions, which is good, but it also has an additional 'aws:referer' condition. I'm not sure if that's necessary for this specific requirement.

I'm not sure about Option B. It seems to only deny the 'GetObject' and 'PutObject' actions, but what about other operations like 'DeleteObject' or 'ListBucket'? We need a more comprehensive policy.

Option A looks promising. It denies all requests that don't have the 'aws:SecureTransport' condition set to 'true'. This should effectively enforce the encryption requirement.

Sounds like a plan, implementing either of those policies should keep our data secure in transit.

Let's go with either Option A or Option C to meet the company's encryption guideline for the S3 bucket.

I agree, either of those options should help ensure all data in transit is encrypted.

True, Option C also seems to meet the encryption requirement by denying non-encrypted requests.

But what about Option C? It explicitly denies any requests without the 's3:x-amz-server-side-encryption' condition.

I think Option A is the way to go. It enforces encryption for all requests.

Wow, this question is pretty straightforward. The company's guideline is clear - all S3 bucket data must be encrypted in transit, and the policy needs to deny any operations if the data is not encrypted. Let's take a closer look at the options.
