----------------------------------------
GitHub PR 4842 addresses a number of open issues related to PGP support in
EncryptContent. Successful review and merging of this PR should provide a
resolution to the linked issues.
> Add Encrypt and Decrypt PGP Processors and Services
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-8251
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8251
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0
> Reporter: David Handermann
> Assignee: David Handermann
> Priority: Major
> Labels: encryption, gpg, pgp, security
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The purpose of this issue is to create new Processors and Controller Services
> to perform encrypt and decrypt functions according to the OpenPGP
> specification defined in [RFC 4880|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880]. This
> functionality is implemented in the `EncryptContent` Processor, but the
> current approach is difficult to configure and troubleshoot in some cases.
> The new Controller Services should encapsulate management of keys and
> keyrings to improve performance and provide better error handling. New
> Controller Services would also support building additional Processors for
> signing and verifying PGP messages as requested in NIFI-7322. Separating
> encrypt and decrypt content functions into distinct Processors will provide a
> clearer distinction between the properties necessary for configuration.
> The implementation of these Processors and Controller Services should address
> the issues described in the following issues:
> - NIFI-7396 Add encryption metadata attributes
> - NIFI-6708 Support DSA and ElGamal keys
> - NIFI-5346 Specify PGP key as property
> - NIFI-5335 Support multiple keys in a PGP keyring
> - NIFI-2983 Support decryption of signed messages
> - NIFI-1694 Support keyring or individual key for encryption or decryption
