--------------------------------------
Summary: AES-GCM cipher support where available
Key: HBASE-13506
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13506
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Assignee: Andrew Purtell
Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.0, 0.98.13, 1.0.2
The initial encryption drop only had AES-CTR support because authenticated
modes such as GCM are only available in Java 7 and up, and our trunk at the
time was targeted at Java 6. However we can AES-GCM cipher support where
available. For HBase 1.0 and up, Java 7 is now the minimum so use of AES-GCM
can go in directly. It's probably possible to add support in 0.98 too using
reflection for cipher object initialization.
