SSE-OBS

Functions

With SSE-OBS, OBS uses the keys provided by itself for server-side encryption. Unlike SSE-KMS where KMS manages keys, in SSE-OBS, OBS manages keys.

Newly Added Headers

Use the header listed in Table 1 to implement SSE-OBS.

You can also configure the default encryption for a bucket to encrypt objects you upload to the bucket. After default encryption is enabled for a bucket, any object upload request without encryption header included will inherit the bucket's encryption settings. For details, see Configuring Bucket Encryption.

Table 1 Header used in SSE-OBS

Header

Description

x-obs-server-side-encryption

Indicates that SSE-OBS is used for encrypting objects.

Type: string

Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption:AES256

APIs Where SSE-OBS Headers Apply

You can configure headers about SSE-OBS in the APIs below:

You can configure a bucket policy to restrict the request headers for a specified bucket. For example, if you require that object upload requests do not contain header x-obs-server-side-encryption:"AES256", you can use the following bucket policy:

{ 
    "Statement": [ 
        { 
            "Sid": "DenyUnEncryptedObjectUploads", 
            "Effect": "Deny", 
            "Principal": "*", 
            "Action": "PutObject", 
            "Resource": "YourBucket/*", 
            "Condition": { 
                "StringNotEquals": { 
                    "x-obs-server-side-encryption": "AES256" 
                } 
            } 
        } 
    ] 
}
