Enabling SSE-S3
To write S3-SSE encrypted files, the value of
fs.s3a.server-side-encryption-algorithm
must be set to that of the encryption
mechanism used in core-site.xml
; currently only AES256
is
supported.
<property> <name>fs.s3a.server-side-encryption-algorithm</name> <value>AES256</value> </property>
Once set, all new data will be uploaded encrypted. There is no need to set this property when downloading data — the data will be automatically decrypted when read using the Amazon S3-managed key.
