             Summary: IV misuse in hints encryption
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11810
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11810
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Blake Eggleston
            Assignee: Jason Brown
             Fix For: 3.7


Encrypted hint files share iv values between encrypted chunks. The cipher 
should be reinitialized with a new iv for each discrete piece of data it 
encrypts, otherwise it gives attackers something to compare between chunks of 
data. Also, some cipher configurations don't support initialization vectors 
('AES/ECB/NoPadding'), so some logic should be added to determine if the cipher 
should be initialized with an iv.
