Larry McCay updated HADOOP-9621:
--------------------------------
Attachment: ThreatsforToken-basedAuthN-20130619.pdf
Start of a threat model introduced by a token based approach to authentication
instead of kerberos. This should be discussed in terms of document format and
collaborated on in order to tease out as many threats as possible - so that we
have them in mind for design decisions.

> In light of the proposed changes to Hadoop security in Hadoop-9533 and
> Hadoop-9392, having a common, detailed understanding (in the form of a
> document) of the benefits/drawbacks of the current security model and how it
> works would be useful. The document should address all security principals,
> their authentication mechanisms, and handling of shared secrets through the
> lens of the following principles: Minimize attack surface area, Establish
> secure defaults, Principle of Least privilege, Principle of Defense in depth,
> Fail securely, Don’t trust services, Separation of duties, Avoid security by
> obscurity, Keep security simple, Fix security issues correctly.
