[jira] [Created] (NIFI-1259) Provide keyed symmetric encryption capability

Andy LoPresto created NIFI-1259:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Provide keyed symmetric encryption capability
                 Key: NIFI-1259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1259
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto
            Assignee: Andy LoPresto
             Fix For: 0.5.0


Currently the only symmetric encryption/decryption capability in EncryptContent processor is via password-based encryption (PBE). We should add support for key-based encryption. This is far more common in systems communication that are not reading from/writing to "human-protected" data where password memorization is important. 

I recommend providing AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding with 128, 192, and 256 bit keys as well as AES/GCM/NoPadding with the same key sizes for authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) capabilities.
