+# Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Keys (SSE-C) Implementation
+
+This document describes the implementation of SSE-C support in SeaweedFS, addressing the feature request from [GitHub Discussion #5361](https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/discussions/5361).
+
+## Overview
+
+SSE-C allows clients to provide their own encryption keys for server-side encryption of objects stored in SeaweedFS. The server encrypts the data using the customer-provided AES-256 key but does not store the key itself - only an MD5 hash of the key for validation purposes.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Architecture
+
+The SSE-C implementation follows a transparent encryption/decryption pattern:
+
+1. **Upload (PUT/POST)**: Data is encrypted with the customer key before being stored
+2. **Download (GET/HEAD)**: Encrypted data is decrypted on-the-fly using the customer key
+3. **Metadata Storage**: Only the encryption algorithm and key MD5 are stored as metadata
+
+### Key Components
+
+#### 1. Constants and Headers (`weed/s3api/s3_constants/header.go`)
+- Added AWS-compatible SSE-C header constants
+- Support for both regular and copy-source SSE-C headers
+
+#### 2. Core SSE-C Logic (`weed/s3api/s3_sse_c.go`)
+- **SSECustomerKey**: Structure to hold customer encryption key and metadata
+- **SSECEncryptedReader**: Streaming encryption with AES-256-CTR mode
+- **SSECDecryptedReader**: Streaming decryption with IV extraction
+- **validateAndParseSSECHeaders**: Shared validation logic (DRY principle)
+- **ParseSSECHeaders**: Parse regular SSE-C headers
+- **ParseSSECCopySourceHeaders**: Parse copy-source SSE-C headers
+- Header validation and parsing functions
+- Metadata extraction and response handling
+
+#### 3. Error Handling (`weed/s3api/s3err/s3api_errors.go`)
+- New error codes for SSE-C validation failures
+- AWS-compatible error messages and HTTP status codes
+
+#### 4. S3 API Integration
+- **PUT Object Handler**: Encrypts data streams transparently
+- **GET Object Handler**: Decrypts data streams transparently  
+- **HEAD Object Handler**: Validates keys and returns appropriate headers
+- **Metadata Storage**: Integrates with existing `SaveAmzMetaData` function
+
+### Encryption Scheme
+
+- **Algorithm**: AES-256-CTR (Counter mode)
+- **Key Size**: 256 bits (32 bytes)
+- **IV Generation**: Random 16-byte IV per object
+- **Storage Format**: `[IV][EncryptedData]` where IV is prepended to encrypted content
+
+### Metadata Storage
+
+SSE-C metadata is stored in the filer's extended attributes:
+```
+x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm: "AES256"
+x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5: "<md5-hash-of-key>"
+```
+
+## API Compatibility
+
+### Required Headers for Encryption (PUT/POST)
+```
+x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm: AES256
+x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key: <base64-encoded-256-bit-key>
+x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5: <md5-hash-of-key>
+```
+
+### Required Headers for Decryption (GET/HEAD)
+Same headers as encryption - the server validates the key MD5 matches.
+
+### Copy Operations
+Support for copy-source SSE-C headers:
+```
+x-amz-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm
+x-amz-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-key  
+x-amz-copy-source-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The implementation provides AWS-compatible error responses:
+
+- **InvalidEncryptionAlgorithmError**: Non-AES256 algorithm specified
+- **InvalidArgument**: Invalid key format, size, or MD5 mismatch
+- **Missing customer key**: Object encrypted but no key provided
+- **Unnecessary customer key**: Object not encrypted but key provided
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Key Management**: Customer keys are never stored - only MD5 hashes for validation
+2. **IV Randomness**: Fresh random IV generated for each object
+3. **Transparent Security**: Volume servers never see unencrypted data
+4. **Key Validation**: Strict validation of key format, size, and MD5
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test suite covers:
+- Header validation and parsing (regular and copy-source)
+- Encryption/decryption round-trip
+- Error condition handling  
+- Metadata extraction
+- Code reuse validation (DRY principle)
+- AWS S3 compatibility
+
+Run tests with:
+```bash
+go test -v ./weed/s3api
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### Upload with SSE-C
+```bash
+# Generate a 256-bit key
+KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
+KEY_MD5=$(echo -n "$KEY" | base64 -d | openssl dgst -md5 -binary | base64)
+
+# Upload object with SSE-C
+curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8333/bucket/object" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm: AES256" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key: $KEY" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5: $KEY_MD5" \
+  --data-binary @file.txt
+```
+
+### Download with SSE-C
+```bash
+# Download object with SSE-C (same key required)
+curl "http://localhost:8333/bucket/object" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm: AES256" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key: $KEY" \
+  -H "x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-md5: $KEY_MD5"
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Existing SeaweedFS Features
+- **Filer Metadata**: Extends existing metadata storage
+- **Volume Servers**: No changes required - store encrypted data transparently
+- **S3 API**: Integrates seamlessly with existing handlers
+- **Versioning**: Compatible with object versioning
+- **Multipart Upload**: Ready for multipart upload integration
+
+### Future Enhancements
+- **SSE-S3**: Server-managed encryption keys
+- **SSE-KMS**: External key management service integration
+- **Performance Optimization**: Hardware acceleration for encryption
+- **Compliance**: Enhanced audit logging for encrypted objects
+
+## File Changes Summary
+
+1. **`weed/s3api/s3_constants/header.go`** - Added SSE-C header constants
+2. **`weed/s3api/s3_sse_c.go`** - Core SSE-C implementation (NEW)
+3. **`weed/s3api/s3_sse_c_test.go`** - Comprehensive test suite (NEW)

+
+## Compliance
+
+This implementation follows the [AWS S3 SSE-C specification](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ServerSideEncryptionCustomerKeys.html) for maximum compatibility with existing S3 clients and tools.
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+- **Encryption Overhead**: Minimal CPU impact with efficient AES-CTR streaming
+- **Memory Usage**: Constant memory usage via streaming encryption/decryption
+- **Storage Overhead**: 16 bytes per object for IV storage
+- **Network**: No additional network overhead
