> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Ismael Juma
> Fix For: 0.10.0.0
>
>
> The default `ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm` is `null` which is not a
> secure default (man in the middle attacks are possible).
> We should probably use `https` instead. A more conservative alternative would
> be to update the documentation instead of changing the default.
