Andrew Purtell created HBASE-13506: -------------------------------------- Summary: AES-GCM cipher support where available Key: HBASE-13506 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13506 Project: HBase Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Andrew Purtell Assignee: Andrew Purtell Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.0, 0.98.13, 1.0.2
The initial encryption drop only had AES-CTR support because authenticated modes such as GCM are only available in Java 7 and up, and our trunk at the time was targeted at Java 6. However we can AES-GCM cipher support where available. For HBase 1.0 and up, Java 7 is now the minimum so use of AES-GCM can go in directly. It's probably possible to add support in 0.98 too using reflection for cipher object initialization. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
