Object Storage Encryption Setup

You can set it to encrypt the data stored in the bucket. After setting bucket encryption, the encryption setting is applied to uploaded data. When using encryption, the SSE‑S3 encryption key method and the AES256 encryption algorithm are applied.

Reference
Object Storage 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 (SSE‑S3) using Amazon S3 managed keys is released as the default method, and server‑side encryption (SSE‑KMS) using Key Management Service (KMS) keys will be provided later according to the service roadmap.

Information

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 it.
