-----------------------------------
Summary: Replace blowfish with a more secure encryption algorithm
Key: ARTEMIS-3103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-3103
Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Reporter: Ying Zhang
In file
apache/activemq-artemis/blob/52263663c48082227916cc3477f8892d9f10134b/artemis-commons/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/artemis/utils/DefaultSensitiveStringCodec.javaThe
blowfish is used for encryption sensitive information
*Security Impact*:
Blowfish's use of 64-bit block size (as opposed to e.g. AES's 128-bit block
size) makes it vulnerable to [birthday
attacks|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack], particularly in
contexts like [HTTPS|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS]. In 2016, the SWEET32
attack demonstrated how to leverage birthday attacks to perform plaintext
recovery (i.e. decrypting ciphertext) against ciphers with 64-bit block size.
