File encryption

When uploading files to TWSC Cloud Object Storage, you can choose the file encryption feature. TWSC provides the system default SSE-KMS key to encrypt your uploaded files and protect your important data.

info
  • The key is shared by the project and all members have access to the encryption feature.
  • Keys are centrally managed by TWSC and currently do not support the deletion, change or use BYOK.

Encryption key ID​

When uploading files using third-party software, the files need to be encrypted using the Encryption Key ID (user sites are automatically encrypted by the system).：

Login to TWSC > enter the service list and select Cloud Object Storage > enter Cloud Object Storage Management and get the Encryption Key ID of the projects on the top right of the page.

Verify that the file is encrypted​
