Description

Description: Audit events must be encrypted before being stored to enhance security and protect sensitive information. There is an existing Encryptor interface in the codebase that can be used or extended to implement this functionality. This task involves integrating encryption into the audit event storage process by leveraging or enhancing the Encryptor interface.

Details:

  • Review the current audit event storage implementation.
  • Utilize or extend the existing Encryptor interface to encrypt audit event data.
  • Ensure encrypted data can be decrypted when necessary for audit review or compliance.
  • The implementation shouldn't affect the existing AuditLogger usages.

Contributor guide
