Devaraj Das commented on HBASE-16414:
-------------------------------------
Nice work [~colinma]. Quick question - are you handling the issues to do with
client and server being on different configs, and/or, with/without the
functionality introduced by this patch? Wondering about the compatibility
stories if the client and server sides are on different versions of hbase (one
has the code and another doesn't), and/or different configurations with respect
to this feature.

> Hbase RPC encryption is enabled by setting “hbase.rpc.protection” to
> "privacy". With the token authentication, it utilized DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms
> for secure authentication and data protection. For DIGEST-MD5, it uses DES,
> 3DES or RC4 to do encryption and it is very slow, especially for Scan. This
> will become the bottleneck of the RPC throughput.
> Apache Commons Crypto is a cryptographic library optimized with AES-NI. It
> provides Java API for both cipher level and Java stream level. Developers can
> use it to implement high performance AES encryption/decryption with the
> minimum code and effort. Compare with the current implementation of
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.crypto.aes.AES, Crypto supports both JCE Cipher
> and OpenSSL Cipher which is better performance than JCE Cipher. User can
> configure the cipher type and the default is JCE Cipher.
