Owen O'Malley commented on HDFS-6134:
-------------------------------------
Sorry, I messed up my math. Assuming that you have 1million files per key and 8
bytes of randomness, you get 2.7e-8, which is close enough to 0. At 16 bytes or
32 bytes of randomness, doubles underflow when calculating the percentage.

> Key: HDFS-6134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6134
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur

> Because of privacy and security regulations, for many industries, sensitive
> data at rest must be in encrypted form. For example: the healthÂcare industry
> (HIPAA regulations), the card payment industry (PCI DSS regulations) or the
> US government (FISMA regulations).
> This JIRA aims to provide a mechanism to encrypt HDFS data at rest that can
> be used transparently by any application accessing HDFS via Hadoop Filesystem
> Java API, Hadoop libhdfs C library, or WebHDFS REST API.
> The resulting implementation should be able to be used in compliance with
> different regulation requirements.
