Server Side Encryption

Server-side encryption means that data is automatically encrypted by the server after it is uploaded or received, and then decrypted when it is accessed by an authorized user. This method helps protect data at rest—meaning the data stored on disks or in databases. It is commonly used in cloud storage services, like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Microsoft Azure.

When you upload a file, the server takes care of the encryption process, so you don’t need to do it manually. The server uses encryption keys to lock (encrypt) and unlock (decrypt) the data. Only users with the right permissions and access rights can read the data. This adds a strong layer of security against unauthorized access or data breaches.
