Question

I’ve read a document about using SSE, but I cannot find how do I use SSE when storing files on S3 using s3-put command from s3-bash.

I run the backup storage procedure like this:

./s3-put -k ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS -s aws-key -T dbbackup/2011-10-10.sql /dbbackup/2011-10-10.sql

Answer 1

Ok, I’ve found the answer.

You change the line to look like:

./s3-put -k ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS -s aws-key -a aws-headers -T dbbackup/2011-10-10.sql /dbbackup/2011-10-10.sql

And create an aws-headers file that contains the line:

x-amz-server-side-encryption: AES256

Then it will send required request header that tells S3 to encrypt the content.
