SUMMARY
The following Community Article explains that the Encryption zones in a Hortonworks HDFS implementation are transparent to the Strategy 10 Secure Enterprise Platform application.
QUESTION
Are encryption zones in a Hortonworks HDFS implementation supported in Strategy 10 Secure Enterprise Platform?
ANSWER
Hortonworks HDFS allows the use of Transparent Encryption and hence the encryption can be performed at the application-level, integrating it into HDFS. This way, existing applications can operate on encrypted data without changes.
By using transparent encryption in HDFS, no changes need to be done in the Strategy side as the encryption method will be transparent to Strategy.
