Fix Version/s: (was: 0.98.18)
0.98.19
> AES-GCM cipher support where available
> --------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-13506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13506
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: encryption, security
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.0, 0.98.19
>
>
> 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 optionally use 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.
