Summary: create a master/client encryption handling
Key: DELTASPIKE-1250
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-1250
Project: DeltaSpike
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: 1.7.2
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Assignee: Mark Struberg
Fix For: 1.8.0
For storing passwords in our configuration I'd like to implement a 2 stage
approach to symmetric encryption.
The current ideas is to have an encrypted has derived from a master password
and box-locale information (MAC, IP, expiry date, etc).
This encrypted sequence is different on every box. But the decrypted hash is
not.
With this hash we can encode a user password, which is then ofc the same on
different boxes.
Of course all that is just security by obscurity, but it's still much better
than plaintext and even close to vault.
After all, the only really secure way is using a hardware crypto box plus the
user has to manually provide a password and not using static passwords but
1-time consumable tokens.
