<a name="using-encryption"></a>

Use encryption to protect your content from unauthorized access. You can use any combination of these encryption options with AWS Elemental MediaConvert:
+ Server-side encryption: Keep your output files secure in the Amazon S3 buckets that AWS Elemental MediaConvert reads from and writes to.
+ Digital rights management (DRM): Make sure that, once you distribute your content, only authorized viewers can watch it
