Introducing SSE-C at TransferRocket

At TransferRocket, the security and privacy of your data has always been one of our top priorities. Every file you upload is encrypted using AES-256, a widely tested, highly performant and industry-standard encryption algorithm, ensuring it stays private and secure. Up until now, all encryption keys have exclusively been managed on your behalf, guaranteeing reliability and recoverability.

Now, we’re excited to announce the introduction of Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Keys (SSE-C) - a feature that gives you complete control over your encryption keys.

With SSE-C, you provide your own encryption key at the time of upload. This means only you hold the key to your data, ensuring maximum privacy and control.

How SSE-C Works at TransferRocket

When you enable SSE-C, you provide an encryption key when creating your transfer. TransferRocket uses this key to encrypt your files securely before storing them. Since we never store or retain your key, only you and anyone you share the key with have the ability to decrypt the data.

If you don’t provide a key, files are still encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms, where keys are securely managed on your behalf for convenience and peace of mind.

Advantages and Disadvantages of SSE-C

SSE-C introduces new levels of control and privacy, but it’s important to understand both the benefits and trade-offs before using it.

Why This Matters

Even without SSE-C, every TransferRocket file transfer is encrypted to the highest industry standards, with keys managed safely on your behalf. SSE-C simply adds an extra layer of privacy and control for users who need it.

This flexibility means you can choose the option that best balances convenience, recoverability, and privacy for your needs.

FAQ: SSE-C at TransferRocket

1. What happens if I lose my SSE-C encryption key?

If the key is lost, the files are unrecoverable. TransferRocket cannot help retrieve them, since we never store your encryption keys.

2. Do I need SSE-C for my everyday file transfers?

Not necessarily. TransferRocket already provides strong encryption by default. SSE-C is mainly useful if you require maximum privacy or need to meet strict compliance standards.

3. Can I still use TransferRocket without providing my own key?

Absolutely. If you don’t use SSE-C, your files remain fully encrypted with keys securely managed on your behalf. This ensures convenience while maintaining strong security.

Conclusion

The introduction of SSE-C at TransferRocket offers users greater flexibility and privacy when transferring sensitive files. Whether you want maximum control with customer-provided keys or prefer the convenience of TransferRocket managing encryption for you, you’ll always benefit from top-tier security standards.
