ASF subversion and git services commented on NIFI-11098: -------------------------------------------------------- Commit d60f541d7edc89b968a932109be3c088b3d1bcf8 in nifi's branch refs/heads/main from David Handermann [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=nifi.git;h=d60f541d7e ] NIFI-11098 Deprecated ProcessContext encrypt and decrypt methods Signed-off-by: Pierre Villard <pierre.villard...@gmail.com> This closes #6891. > Deprecate ProcessContext encrypt and decrypt methods > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-11098 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11098 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: David Handermann > Assignee: David Handermann > Priority: Major > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The {{ProcessContext}} interface includes methods for encrypting and > decrypting strings using the Sensitive Properties Key and Sensitive > Properties Algorithm configured in {{nifi.properties}}. The deprecated > {{GetJMSTopic}} Processor is the only component that uses these methods. > Although these methods provide some potential conveniences, they introduce > tight coupling between framework configuration settings and Processor > implementation. Changing either the Sensitive Properties Key or Sensitive > Properties Algorithm would break reading values encrypted using previous > settings, with no programmatic way to recover the information. Requiring > strings as input also necessitates using some prior encoding strategy to > handle binary information. > In light of the minimal usage of these methods and the potential > implementation concerns, the encrypt and decrypt methods should be deprecated > for removal in subsequent major versions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
