Amazon S3 Supports Server-Side Encryption of Object Data
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Mon, October 31st, 2011
For protection
It enables to request Amazon S3 to encrypt data at rest, that is, encrypt object data when Amazon S3 writes data to disks in its data centers.
Amazon S3 handles both the encryption and decryption of data transparently. In addition to REST API updates, the AWS SDK for Java and .NET provide the functionality to request server-side encryption.
You can also request server-side encryption when uploading objects using the AWS Management Console.
Encryption provides added security for object data stored in your buckets in Amazon S3. You can encrypt data on your client-side and upload the encrypted data to Amazon S3. In this case, you manage encryption process, the encryption keys, and related tools. Optionally, you might want to use the server-side encryption feature in which Amazon S3 encrypts your object data before saving it on disks in its data centers and decrypts it when you download the objects, freeing you from the tasks of managing encryption, encryption keys, and related tools.
