stash-dynamodb

Integrate CipherStash encryption with Amazon DynamoDB using @cipherstash/stack/dynamodb. Covers the encryptedDynamoDB helper for encrypting items before PutItem and decrypting after GetItem, bulk encrypt/decrypt for BatchWrite and BatchGet, querying with encrypted partition and sort keys via HMAC attributes, nested object encryption, audit logging, and the DynamoDB attribute naming conventions (__source/__hmac). Use when adding encryption to a DynamoDB project, encrypting items before writes, decrypting items after reads, or querying encrypted DynamoDB attributes.
