ISCSI encryption

[Protholl]

My company has purchased a half-dozen QNAP TVS-1582TU-i5-16G-US units. They are going to be our mid-level storage arrays. They support iSCSI, they support encryption but as far as I can tell, not at the same time. You can enable encryption on a share so there is some capability.

Is there a roadmap to supporting ISCSI encryption? We are currently using firmware 4.3.5.0760 build 20181114

Thanks in advance,
Jeffrey

as the ISCSI filesystem is transparent to the QNAP, encrypt it however you like (and snapshots/backups via NAS should still work, as they are block based)

How would the NAS know how to encrypt it when it doesn't even know how it's been formatted?
The host formats it, the NAS doesn't know if it's FAT32, NTFS, EXT4, HFS+ you name it.
Never going to be on roadmap in my view.
