Jason Brown created CASSANDRA-7922:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Add file-level encryption
Key: CASSANDRA-7922
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7922
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Jason Brown
Assignee: Jason Brown
Fix For: 3.0
Some use cases require encrypting files at rest for certain compliance needs:
the healthÂcare industry (HIPAA regulations), the card payment industry (PCI
DSS regulations) or the US government (FISMA regulations). File system
encryption can be used in some situations, but does not solve all problems.
I can foresee the following components needing at-rest encryption:
- sstables
- commit log (CASSANDRA-6018)
- indicies
- some systems tables (hints, batchlog, not sure if any others)
- row cache
The work for those items would be separate tickets, of course. I have a working
version of most of the above components working in 2.0, which I need to ship in
production now, but it's too late for the 2.0 branch and unclear for 2.1.
Other products, such as Oracle/SqlServer/Datastax Enterprise commonly refer to
at-rest encryption as Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), and I'm happy to stick
with that convention, here, as well.
