             Summary: Support a more secure block mode for client/server encryption
                 Key: TEIID-4663
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4663
             Project: Teiid
          Issue Type: Quality Risk
          Components: JDBC Driver, Server
            Reporter: Steven Hawkins
            Assignee: Steven Hawkins
             Fix For: 9.0.6, 9.1.2, 9.2


ECB is the current default for the socket transport encryption of secure messages.  While this is relatively ok for small messages as we also have a message key acting as a CTR counter to some of the blocks, it does not provide strong security - especially for large data volume scenarios, such as when using larger login payloads or the secure requests option.  We should default instead to CBC with an explicit initialization vector.
