SSE-C

Functions

With SSE-C used, OBS uses the keys and MD5 values provided by customers for server-side encryption.

Newly Added Headers

OBS does not store your encryption keys. If you lost them, you lost the objects. Six headers are added to support SSE-C.

The following table lists headers that are required when you use SSE-C to encrypt objects.

Table 1 Header fields used for encrypting objects in SSE-C mode

Element

Description

x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm

Indicates the encryption algorithm for the object when SSE-C is used.

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

x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key

Indicates the key for encrypting objects when SSE-C is used. Its value is a Base64-encoded 256-bit key.

Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key:K7QkYpBkM5+hca27fsNkUnNVaobncnLht/rCB2o/9Cw=

x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5

Indicates the MD5 value of the key for encrypting objects when SSE-C is used. Its value is a Base64-encoded MD5 hash. The MD5 value is used to check whether any error occurs during the transmission of the key.

Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5:4XvB3tbNTN+tIEVa0/fGaQ==

APIs where the newly added headers apply:

The following table lists three headers that are added for CopyObject and UploadPart-Copy operations to support source objects encrypted using SSE-C.

Table 2 Header fields for source objects encrypted by the SSE-C

Element

Description

x-obs-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm

Indicates the algorithm for decrypting the source object when SSE-C is used.

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

x-obs-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-key

Indicates the key for decrypting the source object when SSE-C is used.

Example: x-obs-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm: K7QkYpBkM5+hca27fsNkUnNVaobncnLht/rCB2o/9Cw=

x-obs-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5

Indicates the MD5 value of the key for decrypting the source object when SSE-C is used. The MD5 value is used to check whether any error occurs during the transmission of the key.

Example: x-obs-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-key:4XvB3tbNTN+tIEVa0/fGaQ==
