Description

Transparent data encryption provided by CASSANDRA-9945 can currently be used for commitlog and hints. The default KeyProvider implementation that we ship allows to use a local keystore for storing and retrieving keys. Thanks to the pluggable handling of the KeyStore provider and basic Vault related classes introduced in CASSANDRA-13971, a Vault based implementation can be provided as KeyProvider as well.
