--------------------------------------
Summary: Add ability to encrypt sstables
Key: CASSANDRA-9633
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9633
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Jason Brown
Assignee: Jason Brown
Fix For: 3.x
Add option to allow encrypting of sstables.
I have a version of this functionality built on cassandra 2.0 that piggy-backs
on the existing sstable compression functionality and ICompressor interface
(similar in nature to what DataStax Enterprise does). However, if we're adding
the feature to the main OSS product, I'm not sure if we want to use the
pluggable compression framework or if it's worth investigating a different
path. I think there's a lot of upside in reusing the sstable compression
scheme, but perhaps add a new component in cqlsh for table encryption and a
corresponding field in CFMD.
Encryption configuration in the yaml can use the same mechanism as
CASSANDRA-6018 (which is currently pending internal review).
