| Ns4Kafka encrypts sensitive data at rest in topics using AES-256 GCM encryption. This is used, for example, to encrypt Kafka Connect credentials. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
"for example": I think it is only used for Kafka Connect credentials (method encryptAes256Gcm in EncryptionUtils.java)
Maybe, it can be specified that it encrypts Kafka Connect http password, and the aes256 key & salt used to encrypt connectors sensitive data.
(this aes256 key is used to encrypt another aes256 key)
What do you think?
