Enabling SSE-C

To use SSE-C, the configuration option fs.s3a.server-side-encryption-algorithm must be set to SSE-C, and a base-64 encoding of the key placed in fs.s3a.server-side-encryption.key.

<property>
  <name>fs.s3a.server-side-encryption-algorithm</name>
  <value>SSE-C</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>fs.s3a.server-side-encryption.key</name>
  <value>RG8gbm90IGV2ZXIgbG9nIHRoaXMga2V5IG9yIG90aGVyd2lzZSBzaGFyZSBpdA==</value>
</property>

This property can be set in a Hadoop JCEKS credential file, which is significantly more secure than embedding secrets in the XML configuration file.
