<description>
This application encrypts all files accessed by ownCloud at rest,
wherever they are stored. As an example, with this application
enabled, external cloud based Amazon S3 storage will be encrypted,
protecting this data on storage outside of the control of the Admin.
When this application is enabled for the first time, all files are
encrypted as users log in and are prompted for their password. The
recommended recovery key option enables recovery of files in case
the key is lost.
Note that this app encrypts all files that are touched by ownCloud,
so external storage providers and applications such as SharePoint
will see new files encrypted when they are accessed. Encryption is
based on AES 128 or 256 bit keys. More information is available in
the Encryption documentation
In order to use this encryption module you need to enable server-side
encryption in the admin settings. Once enabled this module will encrypt
all your files transparently. The encryption is based on AES 256 keys.
The module won't touch existing files, only new files will be encrypted
after server-side encryption was enabled. It is also not possible to
disable the encryption again and switch back to a unencrypted system.
Please read the documentation to know all implications before you decide
to enable server-side encryption.
