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. </description> <name>Default encryption module</name> <license>AGPL</license> |
