AWS SQS Server Side Encryption

I'm trying to encrypt the SQS messages using SSE. I have enabled SSE for the queue. Is there a way to see the encrypted message in the queue? When I view the message using view/delete message it shows the decrypted message. How do I verify that the message is really encrypted?

No, it is not possible to see the encrypted version of the message.

Server-Side Encryption means that data is encrypted at rest. It means that if anybody were to access the raw disk, they would be unable to read the data because it is encrypted. When you view a message, it is retrieved and automatically decrypted.
