+=== Encrypted Provenance Repository
+While OS-level access control can offer some security over the provenance
data written to the disk in a repository, there are scenarios where the data
may be sensitive, compliance and regulatory requirements, or NiFi is running on
hardware not under the direct control of the organization (cloud, etc.). In
this case, the provenance repository allows for all data to be encrypted before
being persisted to the disk.
