Object Storage Service:Server-side encryption

Last Updated:Jun 28, 2024

Object Storage Service (OSS) can encrypt uploaded data on the server. This is called server-side encryption. When you upload data to OSS, OSS encrypts the uploaded data and then persistently stores the encrypted data. When you download data from OSS, OSS decrypts the data and returns the decrypted data. In addition, a header is added to the response to declare that the data is encrypted on the server.

Usage notes

  • Before you configure server-side encryption, make sure that you familiarize yourself with this feature. For more information, see Server-side encryption.

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

  • 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 Initialization.

  • To configure server-side encryption for a bucket, you must have the oss:PutBucketEncryption permission. To query server-side encryption configurations of a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketEncryption permission. To delete server-side encryption configurations of a bucket, you must have the oss:DeleteBucketEncryption permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Configure server-side encryption for a bucket

The following sample code provides examples on how to configure a default encryption method for a bucket. After the method is configured, all objects that are uploaded to the bucket without specifying an encryption method are encrypted by using the default encryption method.

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Configure server-side encryption for the bucket. 
    var request = new SetBucketEncryptionRequest(bucketName, "KMS", null);
    client.SetBucketEncryption(request);
    Console.WriteLine("Set bucket:{0} Encryption succeeded ", bucketName);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

Query the server-side encryption configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the server-side encryption configurations of a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Query the server-side encryption configurations of the bucket. 
    var result = client.GetBucketEncryption(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Get bucket:{0} Encryption succeeded ", bucketName);

    Console.WriteLine("SSEAlgorithm: {0}", result.SSEAlgorithm);
    Console.WriteLine("KMSMasterKeyID: {0}", result.KMSMasterKeyID);

}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

Delete the server-side encryption configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to delete the server-side encryption configurations of a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Delete the server-side encryption configurations of the bucket. 
    client.DeleteBucketEncryption(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Delete bucket:{0} Encryption succeeded ", bucketName);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}
