Does OBS Support Object Upload with Encryption?

OBS provides the server-side encryption function. You can encrypt objects while uploading. Data is encrypted on the server and then stored in OBS. When downloading the encrypted objects, the encrypted data will be decrypted on the server and displayed in plaintext to you.

Table 1 lists the encryption methods supported by OBS Console, clients, and tools.
