[hdf-forum] Encryption of Data within HDF5?

[Werner Benger]

hm, it would sound simple to add a filter to the filtering pipeline
that does the encryption/decryption,

That were applicable to selected data sets only, leaving the metadata in cleartext.

We had been thinking about doing such here, but not really implemented it so far.
