Security at rest

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Minio have a supported security are rest package, and I wish to use this with boltdb.

https://github.com/minio/sio

Writing data and getting data will be pretty easy.
I am more interested in the problem of searching for data

Am looking for pointers :)

I intend to integrate this with storm, a package that makes using boltdb as a database much easier.

Use cases :
I use boltdb on mobiles and desktops where the data is not secure, but there is a good arguement for using it in the cloud also as it's not your server.

I don't see how that would work without losing the benefits of mmap, at which point the result doesn't sound like BoltDB anymore (to me).

I would personally recommend encrypting your values on top of BoltDB, or the disk underneath it.
