Object Storage Service:Data verification

Last Updated:Nov 10, 2023

Object Storage Service (OSS) SDK for Java uses MD5 verification and CRC-64 to ensure data integrity when you upload, download, and copy objects.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

MD5 verification

If you configure Content-MD5 in an object upload request, OSS calculates the MD5 hash of the uploaded object. If the calculated MD5 hash is different from the MD5 hash configured in the upload request, InvalidDigest is returned. This allows OSS to ensure data integrity for object uploads. If InvalidDigest is returned, you need to upload the object again.

MD5 verification is also supported for multipart upload. In a multipart upload request, meta specifies the metadata of the object to upload. MD5 verification is performed for each part during multipart upload. The setMd5Digest function is called in an UploadPartRequest request for the client to calculate the MD5 hash.

Note

MD5 verification is supported for PutObject, GetObject, AppendObject, PostObject, Multipart upload, and UploadPart.

  • The following sample code provides an example on how to configure MD5 verification in a PutObject operation:

    import com.aliyun.oss.*;
    import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
    import com.aliyun.oss.common.utils.BinaryUtil;

            String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
            // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.

            String bucketName = "examplebucket";
            // Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. 
            String objectName = "exampledir/object";
    
            // Create an OSSClient instance. 
            OSS ossClient = new OSSClientBuilder().build(endpoint, credentialsProvider);
    
            try {
                // Upload the string.

                // Configure MD5 verification. 
                String md5 = BinaryUtil.toBase64String(BinaryUtil.calculateMd5(content.getBytes()));
                meta.setContentMD5(md5);
    
                ossClient.putObject(bucketName, objectName, new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getBytes()), meta);
    
            } catch (OSSException oe) {
                System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
                        + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");

            } catch (ClientException ce) {
                System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
                        + "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
                        + "such as not being able to access the network.");
                System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());

CRC-64 verification

CRC-64 verification is enabled by default in object upload, download, and copy operations to check data integrity.

Note
  • CRC-64 can be used in the PutObject, GetObject, AppendObject, and UploadPart operations. By default, CRC-64 is enabled when you upload an object. If the CRC-64 checksum calculated on the client is different from the CRC-64 checksum returned by the OSS server, the InconsistentException error is returned.

  • CRC-64 verification is not supported for range download.

  • CRC-64 consumes CPU resources and slows down uploads and downloads.

  • CRC-64 in object download

    The following sample code provides an example on how to perform CRC-64 when you download an object:
