David Handermann updated NIFI-11098:
------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> Deprecate ProcessContext encrypt and decrypt methods
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-11098
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11098
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Handermann
> Assignee: David Handermann
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The {{ProcessContext}} interface includes methods for encrypting and
> decrypting strings using the Sensitive Properties Key and Sensitive
> Properties Algorithm configured in {{nifi.properties}}. The deprecated
> {{GetJMSTopic}} Processor is the only component that uses these methods.
> Although these methods provide some potential conveniences, they introduce
> tight coupling between framework configuration settings and Processor
> implementation. Changing either the Sensitive Properties Key or Sensitive
> Properties Algorithm would break reading values encrypted using previous
> settings, with no programmatic way to recover the information. Requiring
> strings as input also necessitates using some prior encoding strategy to
> handle binary information.
> In light of the minimal usage of these methods and the potential
> implementation concerns, the encrypt and decrypt methods should be deprecated
> for removal in subsequent major versions.
