Using Data Encryption

Encryption provides added security for your 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.
