David Handermann commented on NIFI-1209:
----------------------------------------

The SignContentPGP Processor supports OpenPGP signing, which provides the basic capabilities described.

> 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.
