[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-119?page=comments#action_12448672 ] Henri Yandell commented on FILEUPLOAD-119: ------------------------------------------
I've moved the issue over to the FileUpload project. There are three areas that seem of importance here: Client side Transport Server side As far as a browser and FileUpload are concerned, if the file is encrypted I imagine that it's not going to care. It's going to take that encrypted file, upload it and place it on the server's disk. Then it's just a question of having code on the server side to decrypt things. I'm pretty sure FileUpload won't have anything to support that because its functionality is limited by the default behaviour of web browsers (they're the clients to fileupload's serverside). Transport is easy to solve - use SSL. I suspect that the easiest way to solve the server side (ie: not encrypted on client and send over SSL) is to use an encrypted file system. I don't know if FileUpload has hooks that would let you encrypt the file before it writes it to disk (anyone?), but that seems a weaker solution and more work than just taking care of things at the hardware level.
