This operation is not supported for directory buckets or Amazon S3 on Outposts buckets.
Updates the server-side encryption type of an existing encrypted object in a general purpose bucket.
You can use the UpdateObjectEncryption operation to change encrypted objects from
server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) to server-side encryption with Key Management Service (KMS)
keys (SSE-KMS), or to apply S3 Bucket Keys. You can also use the UpdateObjectEncryption operation
to change the customer-managed KMS key used to encrypt your data so that you can comply with custom
key-rotation standards.
Using the UpdateObjectEncryption operation, you can atomically update the server-side
encryption type of an existing object in a general purpose bucket without any data movement. The
UpdateObjectEncryption operation uses envelope encryption to re-encrypt the data key used to
encrypt and decrypt your object with your newly specified server-side encryption type. In other words,
when you use the UpdateObjectEncryption operation, your data isn't copied, archived
objects in the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage classes aren't
restored, and objects in the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class aren't moved between tiers.
Additionally, the UpdateObjectEncryption operation preserves all object metadata
properties, including the storage class, creation date, last modified date, ETag, and checksum
properties. For more information, see
Updating server-side encryption for existing objects in the
Amazon S3 User Guide.
By default, all UpdateObjectEncryption requests that specify a customer-managed
KMS key are restricted to KMS keys that are owned by the bucket owner's Amazon Web Services account. If you're
using Organizations, you can request the ability to use KMS keys owned by other member
accounts within your organization by contacting Amazon Web Services Support.
Source objects that are unencrypted, or encrypted with either dual-layer server-side encryption
with KMS keys (DSSE-KMS) or server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) aren't
supported by this operation. Additionally, you cannot specify SSE-S3 encryption as the requested
new encryption type UpdateObjectEncryption request.
Permissions
To use the UpdateObjectEncryption operation, you must have the following
permissions:
s3:PutObject
s3:UpdateObjectEncryption
kms:Encrypt
kms:Decrypt
kms:GenerateDataKey
kms:ReEncrypt*
If you're using Organizations, to use this operation with customer-managed
KMS keys from other Amazon Web Services accounts within your organization, you must have the
organizations:DescribeAccount permission.
Errors
You might receive an InvalidRequest error for several reasons. Depending
on the reason for the error, you might receive one of the following messages:
The UpdateObjectEncryption operation doesn't supported unencrypted
source objects. Only source objects encrypted with SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS are supported.
The UpdateObjectEncryption operation doesn't support source objects
with the encryption type DSSE-KMS or SSE-C. Only source objects encrypted with SSE-S3
or SSE-KMS are supported.
The UpdateObjectEncryption operation doesn't support updating the
encryption type to DSSE-KMS or SSE-C. Modify the request to specify SSE-KMS
for the updated encryption type, and then try again.
Requests that modify an object encryption configuration require Amazon Web Services Signature
Version 4. Modify the request to use Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4, and then try again.
Requests that modify an object encryption configuration require a valid new
encryption type. Valid values are SSEKMS. Modify the request to specify
SSE-KMS for the updated encryption type, and then try again.
Requests that modify an object's encryption type to SSE-KMS require an Amazon Web Services KMS key
Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Modify the request to specify a KMS key ARN, and then
try again.
Requests that modify an object's encryption type to SSE-KMS require a valid
Amazon Web Services KMS key Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Confirm that you have a correctly formatted
KMS key ARN in your request, and then try again.
The BucketKeyEnabled value isn't valid. Valid values are
true or false. Modify the request to specify a valid value,
and then try again.
You might receive an AccessDenied error for several reasons. Depending on
the reason for the error, you might receive one of the following messages:
The Amazon Web Services KMS key in the request must be owned by the same account as the bucket. Modify
the request to specify a KMS key from the same account, and then try again.
The bucket owner's account was approved to make UpdateObjectEncryption requests
that use any Amazon Web Services KMS key in their organization, but the bucket owner's account isn't part of
an organization in Organizations. Make sure that the bucket owner's account and the
specified KMS key belong to the same organization, and then try again.
The specified Amazon Web Services KMS key must be from the same organization in Organizations as
the bucket. Specify a KMS key that belongs to the same organization as the bucket, and then
try again.
The encryption type for the specified object can’t be updated because that object is
protected by S3 Object Lock. If the object has a governance-mode retention period or a legal
hold, you must first remove the Object Lock status on the object before you issue your
UpdateObjectEncryption request. You can't use the UpdateObjectEncryption
operation with objects that have an Object Lock compliance mode retention period applied to them.
Example
Use a bare-bones client and the command you need to make an API call.
