> Does this mean I need an enterprise KMS setup to run MinIO (securely)?

No, MinIO does not depend on any third-party KMS provider. You have three options here:

- Run MinIO without a KMS. In this case all IAM data will be stored in plain-text.
- Run MinIO with a single secret key. MinIO supports a static cryptographic key

3. [Generate and use Self-signed Keys and Certificates with MinIO](#generate-use-self-signed-keys-certificates)
4. [Install Certificates from Third-party CAs](#install-certificates-from-third-party-cas)

## 1. Install MinIO Server

Install MinIO Server using the instructions in the [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).

### Allowed values for STANDARD storage class

`STANDARD` storage class implies more parity than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` class. So, `STANDARD` parity drives should be

- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.

Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of drives)

reconstruct missing or corrupted data. MinIO uses Reed-Solomon code to shard objects into variable data and parity blocks. For example, in a 12 drive setup, an object can be sharded to a variable number of data and parity blocks across all the drives - ranging from six data and six parity blocks to ten data and two parity blocks.

By default, MinIO shards the objects across N/2 data and N/2 parity drives. Though, you can use [storage classes](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/erasure/storage-class)...

You can use a policy variable in the Resource element, but only in the resource portion of the ARN. This portion of the ARN appears after the 5th colon (:). You can't use a variable to replace parts of the ARN before the 5th colon, such as the service or account. The following policy might be attached to a group. It gives each of the users in the group full programmatic access to a user-specific object (their own "home directory") in MinIO.

ciphertext  := sealed_chunk_0   ||       sealed_chunk_1   ||       sealed_chunk_2   ||       ...
```

In case of a S3 multi-part operation each part is en/decrypted with the scheme shown in Figure 1. However, for each part an unique secret key is derived from the OEK and the part number using a PRF. So in case of multi-part not the OEK but the output of `PRF(OEK, part_id)` is used as secret key.

## Toy Setups

Capacity constrained environments, MinIO will work but not recommended for production.
