[jira] [Created] (HBASE-16632) Optimize HBase RPC Encryption Performance

Robert Yokota created HBASE-16632:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Optimize HBase RPC Encryption Performance
                 Key: HBASE-16632
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16632
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: security
            Reporter: Robert Yokota


Similar to HADOOP-10768, when HBase RPC encryption is enabled by setting {{hbase.rpc.protection}} to {{privacy}}, it does not use AES-NI acceleration by default.

We have implemented a workaround for HBase to use accelerated encryption that can be shown to improve performance, see https://rayokota.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/adventures-in-hardening-hbase/.   I will attach a patch of the changes for our workaround, which borrows heavily from the patch for HADOOP-10768, but I'll leave it to the HBase security experts as to what is the best approach.
