Archive Storage Encryption Configuration
You can configure the bucket to encrypt the data stored in it. After enabling bucket encryption, the encryption settings are applied to uploaded data. When encryption is used, the SSE‑S3 encryption key method and the AES256 encryption algorithm are applied.
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) is released as the default method, and server-side encryption using Key Management Service (KMS) keys (SSE‑KMS) will be offered later according to the service roadmap.
If there is data that was stored before the bucket encryption was configured, the encryption setting will not be applied.
- If you re‑upload the file, the encryption will be applied.
- To enable encryption for existing data, you need to re‑upload it.
To set up encryption, follow these steps.
- Click the All Services > Storage > Archive Storage menu. Navigate to the Service Home page of Archive Storage.
- On the Service Home page, click the Archive Storage menu. You will be taken to the Archive Storage List page.
- On the Archive Storage List page, click the resource (bucket) to use for encryption. You will be taken to the Archive Storage Details page.
- On the Archive Storage Details page, verify that Encryption is Not Used, then click the Edit button. The Edit Encryption popup opens.
- After checking the use of encryption, click the Confirm button.
