Using a Key to Encrypt Data in OBS

  • DEW is a cloud data encryption service. The Key Management Service (KMS) provided by DEW is a secure, reliable, and easy-to-use cloud service that can help you manage and protect keys in a centralized manner.
  • With KMS, you can create keys and use the keys to encrypt files to be uploaded on the OBS server.

Step 1 Preparing the Environment

  1. Log in to the management console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Storage > Object Storage Service.

    You can also import your local keys to the KMS console and have them managed by KMS. For details about how to import keys, see Importing Key Materials.
