             Summary: Add the ability to sign files to PutFile / PutHDFS
                 Key: NIFI-1209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1209
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Andre


NiFi allows the Dataflows to be signed, however, this causes some complexities 
in processing data downstream.

Furthemore, frequently, entities are happy to forfeit dataflow encryption for 
the use of hashing mechanisms + public keys  that can "guarantee" (e.g. GPG 
signatures) the integrity of a resultant file once it has been stored for long 
term archival (e.g. HDFS).

it would be great to have the ability to sign files being written by PutFile 
and PutHDFS as they are written to disk. 

PS-A added bonus would be to in addition to public key encryption, using Merkle 
Hash Trees for providing non-repudiation of data flows.
