Using encryption in rocksdb

[halde...@gmail.com]

Hi ,

I am trying to use encryption in rocksdb. Can any one point me to example code on how I can encrypt the database files on disk ?

Regards

An outside contributor added an Env wrapper for encrypting/decrypting RocksDB files. I don't know much about it, except that ROT13 is not real cryptography. 😉  https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/main/include/rocksdb/env_encryption.h

Thanks, I have checked it.

Is it possible to provide my own AES Encryption provider instead of using ROT13 ? Can any one point me to such example ?

We just use filesystem encryption (LUKS).

Let me know where file encryption is a better solution?

There are a couple of examples of Encryption Providers working their way slowly through the PR process.  Checkout PR8943, 7020, and 6717 for examples.

Thanks. Planning to provide own BlockCipherClass instead of ROT13.
