Automated encryption of sensible data, directed by the schema registry

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

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

    Hello,

    message-level encryption would be a good start, but in our use cases selective field-level encryption would be favored in the long term.

    On a similar use case, automated selective redaction/anonymisation of some fields would become an useful feature.

    Regards,

    Hi Eric, 

    Thank you for raising this idea. Encryption is an interesting topic that has been raised by other customers, each with a different use case in mind. 

    Could you share a little bit more about your specific use case? and are you looking for field level / message level encryption?
