[jira] [Commented] (JSPWIKI-205) Obfuscate on disk content type

["Craig L Russell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14138431#comment-14138431 ] 

Craig L Russell commented on JSPWIKI-205:
-----------------------------------------

I'm no expert on this subject, but it seems from an architecture perspective that a filter is the better solution.

I don't know of many cases where the markup for a page should be encrypted. So I'd rather see a more general purpose filter that encrypts the variable content even at the risk of exposing the fixed content with no encryption.

As to the packaging, I'm a fan of providing the interface and a no-encryption filter in core that can be substituted by an encrypting filter. I seem to recall that providing an encrypting filter would require some registration for export controls.

> We would like to store passwords within the wiki pages. 
> Securing the page is trivial, however the contents on disk remain clear text.
> It would be very nice to have a page type that could be stored in an obfuscated form on disk. 
> As an addition  have a secondary password to display/edit the encrypted contents on disk for those who do not want to use wiki security on the page.
> I suspect this will have potentially drastic effects on the revisions process, but it would be a small price to pay for security.
