 # Server-Side Encryption with Customer-provided Keys (SSE-C)
 
-SeaweedFS supports AWS S3-compatible Server-Side Encryption with Customer-provided Keys (SSE-C), allowing clients to encrypt objects using their own encryption keys.
+With SSE-C, you bring your own keys and SeaweedFS does the heavy lifting. Your app sends the key with each request, and we encrypt/decrypt on the server side—without ever storing your key.

 # Server-Side Encryption (SSE)
 
-SeaweedFS supports AWS S3-compatible server-side encryption to protect data at rest. Three encryption methods are available, each offering different levels of control over encryption keys and management.
+If you're using SeaweedFS with the S3 API, you can encrypt objects at rest without changing your apps. We support the same server-side encryption (SSE) options as Amazon S3, so you can pick the one that fits how you already manage keys.

 ## Encryption Types
 
 ### SSE-KMS (Server-Side Encryption with Key Management Service)
-- **Best for**: Enterprise environments with external KMS infrastructure
-- **Key management**: External providers (AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, OpenBao/Vault, Azure Key Vault [experimental])
-- **Features**: Centralized key management, detailed audit logs, per-bucket key assignment, optional Bucket Key optimization
-- **Configuration**: Requires KMS provider setup in S3 config
+- **Pick this if**: You already use a KMS and want strong audit trails
+- **Keys live in**: External providers (AWS KMS, Google Cloud KMS, OpenBao/Vault, Azure Key Vault [experimental])
+- **Why teams like it**: Centralized key management, detailed audit logs, per-bucket key assignment, optional Bucket Key optimization
+- **Configuration**: Requires KMS provider setup in the S3 config
 - **Documentation**: [SSE-KMS Guide](Server-Side-Encryption-SSE-KMS.md)
 
 ### SSE-C (Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Keys)
-- **Best for**: Maximum control over encryption keys, regulatory compliance
-- **Key management**: Customer provides encryption keys with each request
-- **Features**: No key storage on server, customer has full control
+- **Pick this if**: You want to bring your own keys and keep full control
+- **Keys live in**: Your application (sent per request)
+- **Why teams like it**: No key storage on the server; maximum control for compliance-heavy environments
 - **Configuration**: Keys provided via HTTP headers
 - **Documentation**: [SSE-C Guide](Server-Side-Encryption-SSE-C.md)
 
 ### SSE-S3 (Server-Managed Keys)
-- **Best for**: Simple, fully managed encryption with minimal configuration
-- **Key management**: SeaweedFS-managed keys with automatic key handling
-- **Features**: Works with explicit `x-amz-server-side-encryption: AES256` and bucket default encryption; supports multipart uploads and range requests
-- **Configuration**: Optional bucket-level default encryption via standard S3 bucket encryption API
