Description

The EncryptContent Processor should be deprecated on the support branch for subsequent removal from the main branch based on the availability of better alternatives.

The EncryptContentPGP and DecryptContentPGP Processors incorporate the OpenPGP capabilities of EncryptContent and provide both performance and capability improvements. The DecryptContent and DecryptContentCompatibility Processors support decrypting existing files encrypted with various settings available in EncryptContent. The newer EncryptContentAge and DecryptContentAge Processors provide a modern alternative to OpenPGP and support simplified configuration options.
