Data encryption in S3 on Outposts - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Data encryption in S3 on Outposts

By default, all data stored in Amazon S3 on Outposts is encrypted by using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). For more information, see Using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3).

You can optionally use server-side encryption with customer-provided encryption keys (SSE-C). To use SSE-C, specify an encryption key as part of your object API requests. Server-side encryption encrypts only the object data, not the object metadata. For more information, see Using server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C).

Note

S3 on Outposts doesn't support server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS).
