---------------------------------------------------------------
[~belaban] To my knowledge the CBC mode of encryption does not provide integrity
checking.
GCM does, and I believe it can be enabled in JGroups via:
{code:java}
sym_algorithm="AES/GCM/NoPadding"
sym_iv_length="12"{code}
However, GCM has a very strict requirement to avoid reuse of the same IV for a given key,
which is difficult to guarantee when a static key is used.
As a result I'm still hoping TLS support can eventually be added to address the
integrity checking requirement, as well as provide additional protections for cluster
traffic.

ASYM_ENCRYPT: deprecate sign_msgs
---------------------------------
Key: JGRP-2274
URL:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2274
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Enhancement
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Priority: Major
Fix For: 4.0.12
In {{ASYM_ENCRYPT}}, signing messages means that the checksum of an encrypted message is
computed and used together with the secret key of the sender to sign the message. On the
receiver side, the public key of the sender is used to validate the signature.
However, this is redundant, as decryption of a message will fail if the contents have
been changed.
If needed, signing of messages can be done in a separate protocol.
