Native AIX syslog function should support encrypted logs when forwarding to a central syslog server

In this day and age of OS security-awareness and its importance within operating systems (being available out of the box),  critical OS logging functions such as syslog should support encrypting the logs if they need to be forwarded to a central collection server and potentially making the logs inaccessible to general users on the host.  The attempt to provide this function by porting rsyslog to AIX only introduced more issues since rsyslog does not support compression and/or pruning of logs, and it is also more complex to configure.  In certain configurations, it will stop writing to the log files.  However, most importantly, the rsyslog tool which was ported to AIX currently requires tens of unsupported rpms to enable sending encrypted syslog data to a central server.   This requirement introduces more potential security issues (because the rpms are provided as is). 

 Hence, instead of trying to implement rsyslog with SSL or TLS support on AIX, I believe implementing encryption within the native AIX syslog tool makes more sense from a security perspective, and it will reduce the amount of work administrators need to do implement encrypted syslog data because they will not need to build/implement from scratch a new compression/pruning method for syslog data as they would if rsyslog is utilized.  Within the industry, I know that logrotate is utilized to manage logs, but this is also not natively available on AIX.  Also, there are changes occurring with logging overall to secure data such as syslog from general access.  Hence, OS logging has become more important, and the emphasis is trying to secure the data by not allowing general access.  AIX development should seriously review this need for encrypting syslog data as well as the security of AIX OS logs in general from an access perspective.  Thanks.
