> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-17867
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17867
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Feature/Authorization
> Reporter: Josh McKenzie
> Assignee: Josh McKenzie
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.x
>
>
> When initially implemented, we used the older
> {{javax.security.cert.X509Certificate}} when initializing an
> {{IAuthenticator}} with certs - as nobody is yet using this interface, and
> there is a reasonable way to fix it to use the correct, non-deprecated cert
> classes, we should switch to the modern {{java.security.cert.Certificate}}
> class.
> The broader reasoning here is that consumers of this interface would have to
> jump through serialization/deserialization hoops on each authentication check
> to use the newer X509Certificate implementation, which has data on which we
> depend for our mTLS implementation, and in this case we can just cast them to
> the appropriate class.
> See
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/javax/security/cert/X509Certificate.html
