---------------------------------------
Summary: Encryption and Key Protection
Key: MAPREDUCE-4491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4491
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: documentation, security, task-controller, tasktracker
Reporter: Benoy Antony
Assignee: Benoy Antony
When dealing with sensitive data, it is required to keep the data encrypted
wherever it is stored. Common use case is to pull encrypted data out of a
datasource and store in HDFS for analysis. The keys are stored in an external
secure keystore machine.
The feature adds a customizable framework to integrate different types of
keystores, support for Java KeyStore, read keys from keystores, and transport
keys from JobClient to Tasks.
The feature adds PGP encryption as codec and additional utilities to perform
encryption related steps.
The design document is attached. It explains the requirement, design and use
cases.
Kindly review and comment. Collaboration is very much welcome.
I have a tested patch for this for 1.1 and will upload it soon as an initial
work for further refinement.
