Archive Storage Set up encryption

You can configure the data stored in the bucket to be encrypted. After setting bucket encryption, the encryption setting is applied to data uploaded thereafter. When encryption is used, the SSE‑S3 encryption key method and the AES256 encryption algorithm are applied.

Reference

Archive Storage’s bucket encryption can provide two types (SSE-S3/SSE-KMS).

  • SSE-S3 is server-side encryption (SSE-S3) using Amazon S3 managed keys.
  • SSE-KMS is server-side encryption (SSE-KMS) using Key Management Service (KMS) keys.
  • In this service, server-side encryption using Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) has been released as the default method, and server-side encryption using Key Management Service (KMS) keys (SSE-KMS) will be provided in the future according to the service roadmap.

Notice

If there is data saved before bucket encryption was set, the encryption settings will not be applied.

  • If you re-upload the file, encryption will be applied.
  • To set encryption for existing data, you need to re-upload.

To set up encryption, follow the steps below.

  1. All Services > Storage > Archive Storage Click the menu. Navigate to Archive Storage’s Service Home page.
  2. Click the Archive Storage menu on the Service Home page. Go to the Archive Storage list page.
  3. Archive Storage List page, click the resource (bucket) to use encryption. Navigate to the Archive Storage Details page.
