Automated encryption of sensible data, directed by the schema registry

Hello,

Kafka events can sometimes carry sensitive data that is either subjected to the RGPD, banking security or of hight confidentiality.

We would like to have the possibility to add flags in schemas for sensible fields, or flag the entirety of an event schema as sensible, thus enforcing automated encryption of the sensible part of the data when the event is written by the consumer, and automated decryption by the allowed consumers and only them.

The goal is to prevent possible leaks of sensible data from users with admin/display rights that could examine the content of events directly on the kafka brokers.

Thank you for considering this suggestion if you can
