When you use the AWS SDK for Java to upload an object, you can use server-side encryption to
encrypt it. To request server-side encryption, use the ObjectMetadata
property of the PutObjectRequest to set the
x-amz-server-side-encryption request header. When you call the
putObject() method of the AmazonS3Client, Amazon S3 encrypts
and saves the data.
You can also request server-side encryption when uploading objects with the multipart upload
API:
-
When using the high-level multipart upload API, you use the TransferManager
methods to apply server-side encryption to objects as you upload them. You can
use any of the upload methods that take ObjectMetadata as a
parameter. For more information, see Uploading an object using multipart upload.
-
When using the low-level multipart upload API, you specify server-side encryption when you
initiate the multipart upload. You add the ObjectMetadata property
by calling the InitiateMultipartUploadRequest.setObjectMetadata()
method. For more information, see Using the AWS SDKs (low-level-level API).
You can't directly change the encryption state of an object (encrypting an unencrypted
object or decrypting an encrypted object). To change an object's encryption state, you
make a copy of the object, specifying the desired encryption state for the copy, and
then delete the original object. Amazon S3 encrypts the copied object only if you explicitly
request server-side encryption. To request encryption of the copied object through the
Java API, use the ObjectMetadata property to specify server-side encryption
in the CopyObjectRequest.
Example
The following example shows how to set server-side encryption using the AWS SDK for Java. It
shows how to perform the following tasks:
Upload a new object using server-side encryption.
Change an object's encryption state (in this example, encrypting a previously unencrypted
object) by making a copy of the object.
Check the encryption state of the object.
For more information about server-side encryption, see Using the REST API. For instructions on creating and testing a working sample, see Testing the Amazon S3 Java Code Examples.

When you upload an object, you can direct Amazon S3 to encrypt it. To change the encryption state
of an existing object, you make a copy of the object and delete the source object. By
default, the copy operation encrypts the target only if you explicitly request
server-side encryption of the target object. To specify server-side encryption in the
CopyObjectRequest, add the following:
ServerSideEncryptionMethod = ServerSideEncryptionMethod.AES256
For a working sample of how to copy an object, see Using the AWS SDKs.
The following example uploads an object. In the request, the example directs Amazon S3
to encrypt the object. The example then retrieves object metadata and verifies the
encryption method that was used. For information about creating and testing a
working sample, see Running the Amazon S3 .NET Code Examples.

- PHP

This topic shows how to use classes from version 3 of the AWS SDK for PHP to add server-side
encryption to objects that you upload to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). It assumes that you are already
following the instructions for Using the AWS SDK for PHP and Running PHP Examples and have the AWS SDK for PHP properly installed.
To upload an object to Amazon S3, use the Aws\S3\S3Client::putObject() method. To add the
x-amz-server-side-encryption request header to your upload request, specify
the ServerSideEncryption parameter with the value AES256, as shown
in the following code example. For information about server-side encryption requests, see
Using the REST API.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\S3\S3Client;
$bucket = '*** Your Bucket Name ***';
$keyname = '*** Your Object Key ***';
// $filepath should be an absolute path to a file on disk.
$filepath = '*** Your File Path ***';
$s3 = new S3Client([
'version' => 'latest',
'region' => 'us-east-1'
]);
// Upload a file with server-side encryption.
$result = $s3->putObject([
'Bucket' => $bucket,
'Key' => $keyname,
'SourceFile' => $filepath,
'ServerSideEncryption' => 'AES256',
]);
In response, Amazon S3 returns the x-amz-server-side-encryption header with the
value of the encryption algorithm that was used to encrypt your object's data.
When you upload large objects using the multipart upload API, you can specify server-side
encryption for the objects that you are uploading, as follows:
To determine the encryption state of an existing object, retrieve the object metadata by
calling the Aws\S3\S3Client::headObject() method as shown in the following PHP code
example.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\S3\S3Client;
$bucket = '*** Your Bucket Name ***';
$keyname = '*** Your Object Key ***';
$s3 = new S3Client([
'version' => 'latest',
'region' => 'us-east-1'
]);
// Check which server-side encryption algorithm is used.
$result = $s3->headObject([
'Bucket' => $bucket,
'Key' => $keyname,
]);
echo $result['ServerSideEncryption'];
To change the encryption state of an existing object, make a copy of the object using the
Aws\S3\S3Client::copyObject() method and delete the source object. By
default, copyObject() does not encrypt the target unless you explicitly
request server-side encryption of the destination object using the
ServerSideEncryption parameter with the value AES256. The
following PHP code example makes a copy of an object and adds server-side encryption to
the copied object.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\S3\S3Client;
$sourceBucket = '*** Your Source Bucket Name ***';
$sourceKeyname = '*** Your Source Object Key ***';
$targetBucket = '*** Your Target Bucket Name ***';
$targetKeyname = '*** Your Target Object Key ***';
$s3 = new S3Client([
'version' => 'latest',
'region' => 'us-east-1'
]);
// Copy an object and add server-side encryption.
$s3->copyObject([
'Bucket' => $targetBucket,
'Key' => $targetKeyname,
'CopySource' => "{$sourceBucket}/{$sourceKeyname}",
'ServerSideEncryption' => 'AES256',
]);

When using the AWS SDK for Ruby to upload an object, you can specify that the object be
stored encrypted at rest with server-side encryption (SSE). When you read the object
back, it is automatically decrypted.
The following AWS SDK for Ruby – Version 3 example demonstrates how to specify that a
file uploaded to Amazon S3 be encrypted at rest.
require "aws-sdk-s3"
# Wraps Amazon S3 object actions.
class ObjectPutSseWrapper
attr_reader :object
# @param object [Aws::S3::Object] An existing Amazon S3 object.
def initialize(object)
@object = object
end
def put_object_encrypted(object_content, encryption)
@object.put(body: object_content, server_side_encryption: encryption)
true
rescue Aws::Errors::ServiceError => e
puts "Couldn't put your content to #{object.key}. Here's why: #{e.message}"
false
end
end
def run_demo
bucket_name = "doc-example-bucket"
object_key = "my-encrypted-content"
object_content = "This is my super-secret content."
encryption = "AES256"
wrapper = ObjectPutSseWrapper.new(Aws::S3::Object.new(bucket_name, object_content))
return unless wrapper.put_object_encrypted(object_content, encryption)
puts "Put your content into #{bucket_name}:#{object_key} and encrypted it with #{encryption}."
end
run_demo if $PROGRAM_NAME == __FILE__
For an example that shows how to upload an object without SSE, see Uploading objects.
The following code example demonstrates how to determine the encryption state of
an existing object.
require "aws-sdk-s3"
# Wraps Amazon S3 object actions.
class ObjectGetEncryptionWrapper
attr_reader :object
# @param object [Aws::S3::Object] An existing Amazon S3 object.
def initialize(object)
@object = object
end
# Gets the object into memory.
#
# @return [Aws::S3::Types::GetObjectOutput, nil] The retrieved object data if successful; otherwise nil.
def get_object
@object.get
rescue Aws::Errors::ServiceError => e
puts "Couldn't get object #{@object.key}. Here's why: #{e.message}"
end
end
# Replace bucket name and object key with an existing bucket and object that you own.
def run_demo
bucket_name = "doc-example-bucket"
object_key = "my-object.txt"
wrapper = ObjectGetEncryptionWrapper.new(Aws::S3::Object.new(bucket_name, object_key))
obj_data = wrapper.get_object
return unless obj_data
encryption = obj_data.server_side_encryption.nil? ? "no" : obj_data.server_side_encryption
puts "Object #{object_key} uses #{encryption} encryption."
end
run_demo if $PROGRAM_NAME == __FILE__
If server-side encryption is not used for the object that is stored in Amazon S3, the
method returns null.
To change the encryption state of an existing object, make a copy of the object
and delete the source object. By default, the copy methods do not encrypt the target
unless you explicitly request server-side encryption. You can request the encryption
of the target object by specifying the server_side_encryption value in
the options hash argument as shown in the following Ruby code example. The code
example demonstrates how to copy an object and encrypt the copy.
require "aws-sdk-s3"
# Wraps Amazon S3 object actions.
class ObjectCopyEncryptWrapper
attr_reader :source_object
# @param source_object [Aws::S3::Object] An existing Amazon S3 object. This is used as the source object for
# copy actions.
def initialize(source_object)
@source_object = source_object
end
# Copy the source object to the specified target bucket, rename it with the target key, and encrypt it.
#
# @param target_bucket [Aws::S3::Bucket] An existing Amazon S3 bucket where the object is copied.
# @param target_object_key [String] The key to give the copy of the object.
# @return [Aws::S3::Object, nil] The copied object when successful; otherwise, nil.
def copy_object(target_bucket, target_object_key, encryption)
@source_object.copy_to(bucket: target_bucket.name, key: target_object_key, server_side_encryption: encryption)
target_bucket.object(target_object_key)
rescue Aws::Errors::ServiceError => e
puts "Couldn't copy #{@source_object.key} to #{target_object_key}. Here's why: #{e.message}"
end
end
# Replace the source and target bucket names with existing buckets you own and replace the source object key
# with an existing object in the source bucket.
def run_demo
source_bucket_name = "doc-example-bucket1"
source_key = "my-source-file.txt"
target_bucket_name = "doc-example-bucket2"
target_key = "my-target-file.txt"
target_encryption = "AES256"
source_bucket = Aws::S3::Bucket.new(source_bucket_name)
wrapper = ObjectCopyEncryptWrapper.new(source_bucket.object(source_key))
target_bucket = Aws::S3::Bucket.new(target_bucket_name)
target_object = wrapper.copy_object(target_bucket, target_key, target_encryption)
return unless target_object
puts "Copied #{source_key} from #{source_bucket_name} to #{target_object.bucket_name}:#{target_object.key} and "\
"encrypted the target with #{target_object.server_side_encryption} encryption."
end
