[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-8170) To add kafka data at rest encryption

Akash created KAFKA-8170:
----------------------------

             Summary: To add kafka data at rest encryption
                 Key: KAFKA-8170
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8170
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: log
            Reporter: Akash


Kafka have mechanism for wire encryption of data.
But the kafka data at rest which exist in <log.dir>/<topic-name>-<partition> is still unencrypted.
This directories now have log files with actual messages embedded metadata, but unauthorised user can still recover messages from this files
Addiding encryption for this data would be valuable for preventing message protection from disk theft, unauthorised user access on servers.
