NIFI-13494 Remove support for Repository Encryption
Summary
NIFI-13494 Removes support for repository encryption in framework repository implementations.
As described in the associated Jira issue, the current repository encryption implementation has several structural issues, including the use of Java Object serialization for metadata, encryption key storage on the file system, and key reuse concerns with AES for large data volumes. Solutions based on operating system support for full-disk encryption, or cloud provider support for volume encryption with externalized keys provide robust alternatives.
Changes include removing the nifi-security-kms
module and the nifi-repository-encryption
module, as well as removing implementation classes in framework modules.
