# ownCloud Encryption

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.

## The following occ commands are not documented in the official documentation but added here for completness
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-AGPL--3.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE) [![ownCloud OSPO](https://img.shields.io/badge/OSPO-ownCloud-blue)](https://kiteworks.com/opensource) [![Docker Hub](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/owncloud)](https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server)

The values bellow mostly represent internal configuration state and should not be set by the user directly. They are controlled by respective encryption-commands. Change only if you know what you are doing or are debugging.
An ownCloud Classic (OC10) app that provides transparent server-side encryption of files using AES-256 keys. Once enabled in the admin settings, all newly uploaded files are encrypted at rest. The module supports master key encryption, per-user keys, recovery keys, and optional HSM (Hardware Security Module) integration for key storage.

`config:app:set encryption masterKeyId --value ??`
## Getting Started

`config:app:set encryption recoveryKeyId --value ??`
Enable server-side encryption via the ownCloud admin settings or the command line:

The ID of the respective key. Background: Instead of giving a path to a keyfile (which might be error-prone) an explicit key-id which is part of the key is given. This is also done to accomodate for Keystorages which might not be file-based.
```bash
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:enable
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:select-encryption-type masterkey
sudo -u www-data php occ encryption:encrypt-all
```

`config:app:set encryption useMasterKey --value 1/0`
**Important:** Once enabled, encryption cannot be disabled. Read the documentation thoroughly before enabling. Requires OpenSSL 1.1.x (see repository notes regarding OpenSSL 3.x compatibility).

Is masterkey encryption enabled?
## Documentation

`config:app:set encryption crypto.engine --value 'internal | hsm'`
- [ownCloud Encryption Documentation](https://doc.owncloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration/files/encryption/)
- [ownCloud Server Admin Manual](https://doc.owncloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/)

Normal ownCloud encryption vs storing decryption-keys in a HSM
## Part of ownCloud Classic (OC10)

`config:app:set encryption recoveryAdminEnabled --value 1/0`
This app extends [ownCloud Server](https://github.com/owncloud/core) with server-side file encryption. It is shipped as part of the [ownCloud Server Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server).

## Community & Support

> Note : You need openSSL version 1.1.x installed for encryption app to work. With the release change of openSSL v1.x to openSSL version 3.x in December 2021, some ciphers which were valid in version 1.x, have been retired with immediate effect. This impacts the ownCloud encryption app. Your encryption environment will break due to openSSL v3 retired (legacy) ciphers. As a result, encrypted files cant be accessed. As a temporary solution, you have to manually reenable in the openSSL v3 config the legacy ciphers. To do so, see the example in the OpenSSL 3.0 Wiki at section 6.2 Providers.

## Contributing

We welcome contributions! Please read the [Contributing Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md)
and our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) before getting started.

### Workflow

- **Rebase Early, Rebase Often!** We use a rebase workflow. Always rebase on the target branch before submitting a PR.
- **Dependabot**: Automated dependency updates are managed via Dependabot. Review and merge dependency PRs promptly.
- **Signed Commits**: All commits **must** be PGP/GPG signed. See [GitHub's signing guide](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification).
- **DCO Sign-off**: Every commit must carry a `Signed-off-by` line:
```
git commit -s -S -m "your commit message"
```
- **GitHub Actions Policy**: Workflows may only use actions that are (a) owned by `owncloud`, (b) created by GitHub (`actions/*`), or (c) verified in the GitHub Marketplace.

## About the ownCloud OSPO

The [Kiteworks Open Source Program Office](https://kiteworks.com/opensource), operating under
the [ownCloud](https://owncloud.com) brand, launched on May 5, 2026, to steward the open source
ecosystem around ownCloud's products. The OSPO ensures transparent governance, license compliance,
community health, and sustainable collaboration between the open source community and
[Kiteworks](https://www.kiteworks.com), which acquired ownCloud in 2023.

For questions about the OSPO or licensing, contact ospo@kiteworks.com.

### License Migration to Apache 2.0

The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the
[Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), following
the [Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html).

Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file
in each repo reflects its **current** license status (not the target).

**Current license: AGPL-3.0** (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).

Migration prerequisites for this repository:

- **CLA/DCO coverage**: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
- **Copyleft dependency audit**: All AGPL/GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
- **KDE heritage review**: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
- **Complete relicensing**: AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files, not just a header change

# AI Agent Guidelines for ownCloud Encryption

This file provides context for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) working in this repository.

## Repository Overview
- **Product family:** Classic (OC10)
- **Primary language(s):** PHP
- **Build system:** Make + Composer
- **Test framework:** PHPUnit
- **CI system:** GitHub Actions

## Architecture & Key Paths

- `appinfo/` -- App metadata and registration
- `lib/` -- PHP application logic (encryption providers, key managers)
- `js/` -- Frontend JavaScript
- `css/` -- Stylesheets
- `templates/` -- PHP templates
- `tests/` -- PHPUnit tests
- `l10n/` -- Translations
- `Makefile` -- Build and test targets

## Development Conventions
- **Branching:** master
- **Commit messages:** DCO sign-off required (`git commit -s`)
- **Code style:** PHP-CS-Fixer (ownCloud codestyle) and PHP_CodeSniffer (`phpcs.xml`)
- **PR process:** Open a PR against `master`. All CI checks must pass.

## Build & Test Commands
```bash
# Build
make dist

# Test
make test-php-unit

# Lint
make test-php-style
```

## Important Constraints
- All code contributions must be compatible with the **AGPL-3.0** license
- Do not introduce new **copyleft-licensed dependencies** (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL) without explicit discussion in an issue first. This is especially important for repos migrating to Apache 2.0.
- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first


## OSPO Policy Constraints

### GitHub Actions
- **Only** use actions owned by `owncloud`, created by GitHub (`actions/*`), verified on the GitHub Marketplace, or verified by the ownCloud Maintainers.
- Pin all actions to their full commit SHA (not tags): `uses: actions/checkout@<SHA> # vX.Y.Z`
- Never introduce actions from unverified third parties.

### Dependency Management
- Dependabot is configured for automated dependency updates.
- Review and merge Dependabot PRs as part of regular maintenance.
- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first.

### Git Workflow
- **Rebase policy**: Always rebase; never create merge commits. Use `git pull --rebase` and `git rebase` before pushing.
- **Signed commits**: All commits **must** be PGP/GPG signed (`git commit -S -s`).
- **DCO sign-off**: Every commit needs a `Signed-off-by` line (`git commit -s`).
- **Conventional Commits & Squash Merge**: Use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format where the repository enforces it. Many repos use squash merge, where the PR title becomes the commit message on the default branch — apply Conventional Commits format to PR titles as well. A reusable GitHub Actions workflow enforces this.

## Context for AI Agents
- Match existing code style
- Do not refactor unrelated code in the same PR
- Write tests for new functionality
- Keep PRs focused and atomic
