Using HDInsight with encrypted data

564 views Asked by At

I'm considering using HDInsight to process data that must be encrypted at rest. I'm still in the early research phase, but I assume I can add a map step that does the decryption.

Am I way off base here, or is this a viable path forward?

Also, what is the protocol that's used internally to communicate the results of previous map/reduce operations? Does this have the option of being encrypted in motion?
