Kamal Bahadur commented on FLUME-1424:
--------------------------------------

I would like to work on this. Before I start, I would to hear from the 
community about various encryption options that can be used for this.

In my opinion symmetric key encryption is suitable for this task. But my main 
question is where would we want to store the key(secret)? If we use keystpore 
(JCEKS), where will we store the keystore password?

Please help me decide what kind of encryption is optimal and what kind of key 
management solution should we use.
                
> File Channel should support encryption
