> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: encryption
> Reporter: Hari Krishna Dara
> Assignee: Hari Krishna Dara
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> Develop a comprehensive key management system for HBase's encryption at rest
> functionality. This enhancement will encompass:
> # API Support: Creation of new APIs to facilitate interaction with the key
> management system.
> # Key Lifecycle Management: Implementation of robust procedures for key
> generation, storage, activation, deactivation, and destruction.
> # More comprehensive integration with external Key Management Systems (KMS)
> and newer encryption guidelines for enhanced security and compliance.
> # L1/L2 Caching: Design and implementation of multi-level caching mechanisms
> (L1 and L2) to optimize key retrieval performance and reduce latency.
> # Address current limitations with encryption keys.
> This new feature aims to overcome existing limitations related to Key
> Encryption Key (KEK) and Data Encryption Key (DEK) management, specifically
> addressing challenges in key rotation, visibility, and automation, thereby
> significantly improving the security and operational efficiency of HBase
> encryption at rest.
