Hi All, Our team at IBM are working on native encryption of document content for the Cloudant service and are wondering if there'd be interest (or objection!) to this landing as a CouchDB feature?
This is only targeted at the (future) CouchDB 4.0 release which introduces FoundationDB as the persistence layer and, as stated above, currently only for document bodies. This would be a configuration option (and presumably disabled by default). I'll spare us all the crypto details for now (besides pointing out they've been reviewed by our in-house cryptographers and use only public algorithms and techniques in a straightforward manner). Thoughts? B.
