    • Type: New Feature
    • Status: Resolved
    • Priority: Minor
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: None

      Hide

      To enable, add to default-repository-config.xml:
      <binaryManager class="org.nuxeo.ecm.core.storage.sql.XORBinaryManager" key="..."/>
      The key can be changed but of course doing so will render existing binaries unreadable.

      Description

      We have a need for a simple binary manager that "hides" binaries on the filesystem by scrambling them on write and unscrambling them on read using XOR.

      This is to prevent casual reading of the files, but of course the algorithm and key for scrambling are available on the system as well, so this not a secure store.
