> Add option to encrypt commitlog
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6018
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6018
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jason Brown
> Assignee: Jason Brown
> Labels: commit_log, encryption, security
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> We are going to start using cassandra for a billing system, and while I can
> encrypt sstables at rest (via Datastax Enterprise), commit logs are more or
> less plain text. Thus, an attacker would be able to easily read, for example,
> credit card numbers in the clear text commit log (if the calling app does not
> encrypt the data itself before sending it to cassandra).
> I want to allow the option of encrypting the commit logs, most likely
> controlled by a property in the yaml.
