The EncryptedUploads extension allows to encrypt uploaded files with a password. The password is visible to the uploader and can be shared with other users from selected groups.

Use of this extension together with UploadWizard requires a patch to the UploadWizard extension. It will work fine for regular uploads with no patch.

This extension was created for WikiWorks.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted EncryptedUploads folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/EncryptedUploads
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See task T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'EncryptedUploads' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

This extension has 1 configuration parameters:

• $wgEncryptedUploadsSendMail - Whether to send email with a password to the uploader user ( by default is set to false )

Usage

• Navigate to Special:Upload page as a user with an upload permission
• Select file to upload and check Encrypt upload checkbox under the Summary field
• Submit upload. File will be processed, encrypted and you'll see a secret key (visible only for you), share it with others who you want to be able to decrypt & download the uploaded file

Integration with UploadWizard
