Description

The KeyedCipherPropertyEncryptor performs encryption and decryption of sensitive property values using a Secret Key and AES-GCM. The current implementation depends on the AESKeyedCipherProvider from nifi-security-utils. All instances of the Property Encryptor use the same AES-GCM Cipher Algorithm, so the arguments checks implemented in AESKeyedCipherProvider are not necessary for standard operation.
