ASF subversion and git services commented on NIFI-8246: ------------------------------------------------------- Commit 09e54c1dad09a6b91d5e9a08ee53de42afa56c53 in nifi's branch refs/heads/main from David Handermann [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=nifi.git;h=09e54c1 ] NIFI-8246 Set NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_256 as default properties encryption algorithm Signed-off-by: Pierre Villard <pierre.villard...@gmail.com> This closes #5055. > Set Default Sensitive Properties Algorithm with Improved KDF and Encryption > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-8246 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8246 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Security > Affects Versions: 1.13.0 > Reporter: David Handermann > Assignee: David Handermann > Priority: Major > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The default Sensitive Properties Algorithm specified using > {{nifi.sensitive.properties.algorithm}} in {{nifi.properties}} has been > {{PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL}} since early release versions. This > default value relies on the {{NiFiLegacyCipherProvider}}, which is > deprecated. The {{NiFiLegacyCipherProvider}} uses the MD5 hash algorithm > with 1000 iterations and a random salt. This algorithm configuration also > specifies AES with CBC, which does not provide Authenticated Encryption with > Associated Data. > Recent NiFi versions support the Argon2 secure hashing algorithm and AES in > Galois/Counter Mode. NIFI-7668 introduces support for additional secure > hashing algorithms along with support for AES-GCM. One of the options that > incorporates an improved Key Derivation Function and AES-GCM should be set as > the default sensitive properties algorithm in order to provide greater > security for encryption of sensitive properties. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
