Encryption feature in kafka
Issue
- Encryption with Kafka
- Looking for an enterprise grade solution that would allow us to encrypt and decrypt messages in and out of Kafka transparently
- When using the Apache Kafka Proxy, clients do not connect to real Kafka cluster anymore but to the proxy URL ?
- Is one able to use Oauth_bearer connection mechanism with the proxy ?
- The instance of Kafka proxy is the only component that encrypt and decrypt messages in this configuration (and so only component to get the KEKs and DEKs from Vault) ?
- Can one run multiple instance of this proxy in the same kafka cluster ?
Environment
- Streams for Apache Kafka
- 2.6
