This application encrypts all files accessed by ownCloud at rest, |
|
|
|
|
wherever they are stored. As an example, with this application |
|
|
|
|
enabled, external cloud based Amazon S3 storage will be encrypted, |
|
|
|
|
protecting this data on storage outside of the control of the Admin. |
|
|
|
|
When this application is enabled for the first time, all files are |
|
|
|
|
encrypted as users log in and are prompted for their password. The |
|
|
|
|
recommended recovery key option enables recovery of files in case |
|
|
|
|
the key is lost. |
|
|
|
|
Note that this app encrypts all files that are touched by ownCloud, |
|
|
|
|
so external storage providers and applications such as SharePoint |
|
|
|
|
will see new files encrypted when they are accessed. Encryption is |
|
|
|
|
based on AES 128 or 256 bit keys. More information is available in |
|
|
|
|
the Encryption documentation |
|
|
|
|
In order to use this encryption module you need to enable server-side |
|
|
|
|
encryption in the admin settings. Once enabled this module will encrypt |
|
|
|
|
all your files transparently. The encryption is based on AES 256 keys. |
|
|
|
|
The module won't touch existing files, only new files will be encrypted |
|
|
|
|
after server-side encryption was enabled. It is also not possible to |
|
|
|
|
disable the encryption again and switch back to a unencrypted system. |
|
|
|
|
Please read the documentation to know all implications before you decide |
|
|
|
|
to enable server-side encryption. |
