Encryption Strength Warning

Although JetS3t includes support for data encryption, Sun's Java distribution does not always include support for industrial-strength encryption algorithms. JetS3t comes configured to use a relatively weak encryption algorithm (PBEWithMD5AndDES) that is available by default on all platforms and Java versions from 1.4. If you intend to encrypt your data, we recommend that you configure Java and JetS3t to use a much stronger algorithm than this.

To enable full-strength encryption algorithms on your system, you may need to configure Java by downloading and installing the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files available for Java versions 1.4.2 or later.

Once Java is configured to enable full-strength encryption algorithms, you will have a wide range of algorithms to choose from as JetS3t now includes the excellent Bouncy Castle security provider suite. You can configure your preferred algorithm in the jets3t.properties configuration file or via the Preferences dialog in Cockpit. We recommend you use a strong algorithm such as PBEWithSHAAnd256BitAES-CBC-BC or PBEWithSHAAndTwofish-CBC.

S3 features:
  • Support for multiple object deletes in a single request
  • Explicit support for new S3 locations: Oregon (us-west-2), South America (sa-east-1), GovCloud US West (s3-us-gov-west-1), GovCloud US West FIPS 140-2 (s3-fips-us-gov-west-1)

0.8.1a 14 Nov 2011 jets3t-0.8.1a.zip (11.6 MB, MD5: a5de36b65ecdbf0bdc4073bc5bbf8ec5)

Bugfix update release of version 0.8.1, including:
  • Added missing java-xmlbuilder jar library reference to online Cockpit application, fixes #87
  • Fixed bug that caused Synchronize application not to retrieve object metadata when downloading object data in encryption mode, which prevented encrypted objects from being automatically decrypted. Fixes #98
 
0.8.1 10 Apr 2011 jets3t-0.8.1.zip (11.6 MB, MD5: 187b3233453499121a4871b9df39bd52)

New Amazon S3 features:
  • Added support for the Multipart Uploads feature, including the utility class MultipartUtils to make it easier to use.
  • Added support for the Website Configuration feature, which allows static S3 bucket to behave more like a dynamic web site with custom index and error documents.
  • Added support for configuring buckets to send Simple Notification Service (SNS) messages.
  • Added threaded service subclass of ThreadedStorageService for features specific to Amazon's S3, namely multipart upload.
New Amazon CloudFront features:
  • Added support for custom (non-S3) distribution origins (API 2010-11-01). This improvement involved changes to the CloudFrontService API which are not backwards-compatible, so code that relies on the prior version will need to be updated.
Bug fixes:
  • Fixed incorrect file path for XMLBuilder library in shell scripts.
  • Fixed nasty Cockpit bug that prevented directories from being included when uploading files.
  • Fixed issue in FileComparer utility that prevented locally-deleted files within directories from being noticed and removed from the remote service. Also affected JetS3t's Synchronize and Cockpit apps. See issue 69.
New toolkit functionality / improvements:
  • StorageObject and its subclasses (e.g. S3Object) now include a convenience constructor that accepts byte array data.
  • Greatly reduced memory usage in FileComparer file comparison utilities when working with large numbers of files.
  • FileComparer utility now skips/ignores 'special' files on the local file system, to avoid problems synchronizing system directories that contain files that are not really data and cannot be synchronized to a storage service.
Synchronize application updates:
  • Improved batching algorithm to reduce memory usage when working with large numbers of files.
  • Added support for the Amazon S3 service's Multipart Upload feature, which allows large files to be uploaded in smaller parts for improved transfer performance or to upload files larger than 5 GB.
  • Added new property `upload.max-part-size` to synchronize.properties file, to allow the maximum upload part size to be configured when using the Amazon S3 service. The maximum part size defaults to 5 GB.
  • Improved file comparison logic so object metadata is only retrieved from a service when it is required.
  • Removed support for `--skipmetadata` option. This option is no longer necessary since metadata retrieval is more intelligent, and is not desirable because metadata retrieval is no longer optional when comparing objects uploaded using the Multipart Upload mechanism.
 
0.8.0 3 Oct 2010 jets3t-0.8.0.zip (11.3 MB, MD5: e8b5717eceed0811ef78159134f8d962)

  • Provider-agnostic multi-threaded services: ThreadedStorageService, SimpleThreadedStorageService
  • Almost all utility classes are compatible with both the S3 and Google Storage services

New toolkit functionality:
  • RestS3Service: supports for bucket access policies
  • CloudFrontService: support for Default Root Object and object invalidation

  • Manage a CloudFront distribution's Default Root Object
Synchronize application updates:
  • Fully supports new GoogleStorageService, allowing synchronization with Google Storage via its native API
