How to write encrypted (!) lines to logfile ?

As far as I know the standard way of writing log output to logfiles is as plain human readable text.

Is there a way to configure log4j to enrypt lines before writing?
Or (re-)encrypt whole logfile after writing?

The encryption should NOT take place IN the writing application but be configured inside log4j configuration.

Interesting! Currently there's no such feature, but would you mind raising a feature request in the log4j2 Jira issue tracker? 

Thanks!
