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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12576147#action_12576147 ] 

John Volkar commented on JSPWIKI-205:
-------------------------------------

Perhaps a page filter is the most expedient means for this.  

Adopt a wiki convention, perhaps based on a style block?

%%sensitive
My password is XXXXXX
%%

Have the filter encrypt/obfuscate/mangle any text in that style on its way down to disk, then undo it on its way back up into the wiki.  You could even have it only un-encrypt based on user or authentication status if you want.

It woudl feel very weird to me to have a repository wide encryption policy in place; but that should be possible with a Jackrabbit backend.

> 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.
