Description
This issue tracks the insecure legacy cipher algorithms and modes in pgcrypto that CockroachDB does not support for encryption/decryption:
Algorithms:
- `bf` (Blowfish)
Modes:
- `ecb` (electronic codebook)
Jira issue: CRDB-29058
Epic CRDB-60810
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the pgcrypto compatibility work tracked in Jira issue CRDB-29058 and epic CRDB-60810; done would mean defining and implementing support for the listed bf algorithm and ecb mode in encryption/decryption.
