Yes, there indeed is a lot of traction going on in Hadoop security space. N yaa, the typical workloads I saw, the data comes in encrypted and then HDFS decrypts it in a controlled execution environment. I think intel's solution is already doing it in this fashion. One can explore and move ahead.
Feel free to drop me a mail, in case one needs any more information. Would be happy to help :) Warm Regards, Abhay Dandekar Hadoop Enthusiast ...
