I have a working experiment to encrypt a FileAppender on the fly, as opposed to after the fact, during a rollover for example (which is still valuable of course).
To do this I added a CipherConfiguration (not in SVN, which wraps a Cipher) parameter to the FileAppender factory method. If null, no encryption of course. I am currently only doing symmetric encryption in my tests. Gary On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 8:01 PM, Remko Popma <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting.
