<a id="s3outputencoption" />

<Note>
  **Note:** As an alternative, you can configure this property using the alias `query_results_encryption_option`. If you specify both the property name and the alias for the same connection, the setting associated with the property name (`S3OutputEncOption`) takes precedence.
</Note>

The encryption protocol that the connector uses to encrypt your query results before storing them on Amazon S3.

* `SSE_S3`: The connector uses server-side encryption with an Amazon S3-managed key.
* `SSE_KMS`: The connector uses server-side encryption with an AWS KMS-managed key.
* `CSE_KMS`: The connector uses client-side encryption with an AWS KMS-managed key.

<Note>
  **Note:** If this value is not set, the connector does not encrypt the query results before storing them on Amazon S3.
