-----------------------------------
Summary: EncryptContent processor should add encryption metadata
as attributes
Key: NIFI-3889
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3889
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Assignee: Andy LoPresto
The {{EncryptContent}} processor does not record in/alongside the flowfile
content the necessary encryption metadata to decrypt the data later. This
information must be manually recorded and synchronized throughout the system,
which is dangerous. Similar to the {{EncryptedWriteAheadProvenanceRepository}}
implementation, the necessary encryption metadata (*algorithm*, *key ID*/other
reference, *encryption operation*, *KDF*, *version*, etc.) should be recorded
as attributes on the child flowfile.
The processor should also be updated to allow for dynamic recognition of
incoming flowfiles with encryption metadata and not to require hardcoded values
for certain configuration fields in that case.
