Object Storage Encryption Configuration
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.
In this service, server-side encryption (SSE-S3) using Amazon S3 managed keys is offered 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.
If there is data saved before bucket encryption was configured, the encryption settings will not be applied.
- If you re-upload the file, the encryption will be applied.
- To set encryption for existing data, you need to re‑upload it.
Object Storage To use bucket encryption, follow the steps below.
