### Using `mc encrypt` (recommended)

MinIO automatically encrypts all objects on buckets if KMS is successfully configured and bucket encryption configuration is enabled for each bucket as shown below:

```
mc encrypt set sse-s3 myminio/bucket/
```

Verify if MinIO has `sse-s3` enabled

```
mc encrypt info myminio/bucket/
Auto encryption 'sse-s3' is enabled

        // Encrypt
        byte[] encrypted = storage.encryptCredentials(plaintext);
        assertNotNull(encrypted, "Encrypted data should not be null");
        assertTrue(encrypted.length > 0, "Encrypted data should have content");

        // Verify plaintext is not in encrypted data
        String encryptedStr = new String(encrypted);

./mc admin policy attach myminio/ rw --user=minio123
./mc admin policy attach myminio/ lake --user=minio12345

./mc mb -l myminio/versioned
./mc mb -l myminio/versioned-1

./mc encrypt set sse-s3 myminio/versioned
./mc encrypt set sse-kms minio-default-key myminio/versioned-1

./mc mirror internal myminio/versioned/ --quiet >/dev/null
./mc mirror internal myminio/versioned-1/ --quiet >/dev/null

./mc encrypt info myminio/versioned | grep -q "Auto encryption 'sse-s3' is enabled"
ret=$?
if [ $ret -ne 0 ]; then
	echo "BUG: expected encryption enabled after expansion"
	exit 1
fi

got_checksum=$(./mc cat myminio/versioned/dsync/drwmutex.go | md5sum)
if [ "${expected_checksum}" != "${got_checksum}" ]; then

        }

## Let's Encrypt { #lets-encrypt }

Before Let's Encrypt, these **HTTPS certificates** were sold by trusted third parties.

The process to acquire one of these certificates used to be cumbersome, require quite some paperwork and the certificates were quite expensive.

But then **<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Let's Encrypt</a>** was created.

        this.secureRandom.nextBytes(nonce);
        return nonce;
    }

    /**
     * Encrypt an SMB2 message with constant-time operations
     *
     * @param message
     *            plaintext message to encrypt
     * @param sessionId
     *            session identifier
     * @return encrypted message with transform header
     * @throws CIFSException
     *             if encryption fails
     */

        long sessionId = 0x123456789ABCDEF0L;

        // When - Encrypt
        byte[] encrypted = context.encryptMessage(plaintext, sessionId);

        // Then - Verify encrypted message structure
        assertNotNull(encrypted, "Encrypted message should not be null");
        assertTrue(encrypted.length > plaintext.length, "Encrypted message should be larger than plaintext");
