Kai Zheng commented on HADOOP-13836:
------------------------------------
It's good to see this. Some quick questions for now:
* What's the scenarios, requirements and use cases you have in mind for this
support (other than Kerberos)?
* What interfaces will be taken care of by this: RPC/commands, REST, web, JDBC
and etc.
* How authentication will be considered? Still simple or some mechanisms over
SSL/TLS?
* How would you manage credentials (X.509 certificates) for Hadoop services and
maybe clients?
* What's the exact SSL/TLS versions to support and how to configure such with
the cipher suite options?
We may need a design doc to document these. Thanks.

>
> Today, RPC connections in Hadoop are encrypted using Simple Authentication &
> Security Layer (SASL), with the Kerberos ticket based authentication or
> Digest-md5 checksum based authentication protocols. This proposal is about
> enhancing this cipher suite with SSL/TLS based encryption and authentication.
> SSL/TLS is a proposed Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard, that
> provides data security and integrity across two different end points in a
> network. This protocol has made its way to a number of applications such as
> web browsing, email, internet faxing, messaging, VOIP etc. And supporting
> this cipher suite at the core of Hadoop would give a good synergy with the
> applications on top and also bolster industry adoption of Hadoop.
> The Server and Client code in Hadoop IPC should support the following modes
> of communication
> 1. Plain
> 2. SASL encryption with an underlying authentication
> 3. SSL based encryption and authentication (x509 certificate)
