Overview
DreamObjects stores your data safely and securely, and supports two ways to encrypt it further: client-side encryption (including SSE-C for advanced users). Server-side encryption is not currently supported. Data uploaded to DreamObjects is unencrypted by default, so use one of the options below to encrypt it.
What is server-side encryption?
Server-side encryption is when your data is encrypted as it is being written to the server. When you wish to access the data, it is then decrypted from the server. DreamHost does not currently support Server-Side encryption with DreamObjects.
What is client-side encryption?
Client-Side encryption is when you encrypt data BEFORE uploading to the server. This means the data you upload is already encrypted as it's being written to the server. The following application supports client-side encryption:
What is SSE-C?
SSE-C is available, however, this is an option only for advanced users. This is because it requires you to create your own encryption keys in order to upload/download content and encrypt data.
