chronix-engine 0.5.0

//! Field-level encryption for columnar segment blocks.
//!
//! Provides per-column AES-256-GCM encryption with per-block random nonces.
//! Each encrypted block is stored as `[12-byte nonce][ciphertext + 16-byte tag]`.
//!
//! # Security Properties
//!
//! - **Per-block random nonces**: every column block gets a fresh 12-byte nonce
//!   from `OsRng`, preventing nonce reuse even if the same data is written twice.
//! - **Authenticated encryption**: AES-256-GCM provides both confidentiality
//!   and integrity. Tampered ciphertext is detected and rejected.
//! - **Stats suppression**: encrypted columns have their min/max/sum/distinct
//!   statistics zeroed to prevent information leakage via zone maps.
//! - **Bloom filter suppression**: tag columns with encryption skip bloom
//!   filter construction.
//!
//! # Performance Tradeoff: Statistics Suppression
//!
//! Encrypting a column **suppresses all zone-map statistics** (min, max, sum,
//! distinct count). This is a deliberate security measure — publishing
//! plaintext min/max values would leak information about the encrypted data.
//!
//! **Consequence:** Predicate pushdown cannot prune row groups based on
//! encrypted columns. Queries that filter primarily on an encrypted column
//! will read and decrypt every segment instead of skipping non-matching
//! row groups. This can cause **significant read amplification** when most
//! data would otherwise be pruned (e.g., 10× for a 90%-selective filter).
//!
//! **Mitigation strategies:**
//!
//! 1. **Filter on non-encrypted columns first.** Time-range and plaintext
//!    tag filters still benefit from zone-map pruning and bloom filters.
//!    Apply encrypted-column predicates as a post-decryption filter.
//!
//! 2. **Encrypt only sensitive fields.** Keep frequently-filtered columns
//!    (e.g., `host`, `region`) in plaintext and encrypt only payload
//!    fields (e.g., `patient_id`, `credit_card`).
//!
//! 3. **Partition by sensitive dimension.** If you need to filter on an
//!    encrypted tag, consider using it as a partition key so that each
//!    segment contains exactly one distinct value.
//!
//! For a full discussion see the [encryption section](../../docs/security.md)
//! in the user guide.
//!
//! # Key Management
//!
//! Keys are identified by string IDs, enabling key rotation. The writer
//! receives a mapping of column names to [`FieldEncryptionKey`] values.
//! The reader must provide a [`FieldKeyProvider`] that resolves key IDs
//! to the actual 256-bit key material.
//!
//! # Format
//!
//! ```text
//! Encrypted block layout:
//!   [nonce: 12 bytes][ciphertext: N bytes][auth_tag: 16 bytes]
//!
//! Where N = len(encoded_and_possibly_compressed_block)
//! ```
