Archive Storage Encryption Settings

You can configure it to encrypt the data stored in the bucket. After configuring bucket encryption, the encryption settings are 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 options (SSE-S3/SSE-KMS).

  • SSE‑S3 is server‑side encryption (SSE‑S3) that uses Amazon S3 managed keys.
  • SSE-KMS is server-side encryption (SSE-KMS) that uses 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.

Information

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

  • Re‑uploading the file will apply the encryption.
  • To set encryption for existing data, you need to re‑upload it.

To set up encryption, follow these steps.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > Archive Storage menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of Archive Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the Archive Storage menu. 2. Archive Storage List Navigate to the page.
